Hello ,
i have a formula which calculates my working hours for each day " =C9+(B9>C9)-B9 " ... when i try to sum all the hours resulted from that formula it gives me some other numbers ...
can anyone please help ? is there a way to change the result of that formula into text so i can sum it or is there a way to calculate it directly ?

...
in picture number 1 we calculate the time and format it in h:mm ... then in pic number 2 we convert the hours into minutes then in pic number 3 we convert it back into hours with formatting cells with numbers and 0 decimals ...
then in pic number 4 u just select the cells u want to sum and u can see the answer down in the bottom ... or u can simply add the =sum formula
and voila :D

A lot of steps for the same result.
Following your routine on your original values, the answer is still 40.75.

8:00	480	8
8:00 480 8
8:00 480 8
7:55 475 7,916666667
8:50 530 8,833333333

40,75

Is your query solved now?

Hi Kelnasawa,

I think you are having a formatting issue.

Normally when you add hours, 23 is the max, since 24 is a day.
Goto cell properties and change format to [h]:mm or [h] (instead of h:mm or h).

Best regards,
Trowa

The answer 16 is wrong.
What should the answer be?, 40 right?

That's weird: 8:00 + 8:00 + 8:00 + 7:55 + 8:50 = 40:45

But you didn't use ":" but "." as a separator. That would mean you are not looking for hours and minutes but hours and a decimal value of minutes.

45 minutes of 60 = 0.75 which would result in 40.75

What am I missing here, how do you get 40.05?
