I have a time in and then time out but my spreadsheet includes the date on it and when I add the columns to give me hours worked it gives me a decimal I understand that excel works in decimals for time but I have tried changing the format to just [hh]:mm it will change the number to a huge decimal that doesn’t make sense. To display the result correctly. In other words:Brilliant!

Thanks al lot... hello my question is if i want to all time values in a specific cell and to restrict if time value is more than 24:00:00 then show dialog box error alert message etc Please any one help me...

Of course, the function name depends on your local language, and if you use comma as decimal separator, use ; instead of , to separate the arguments in the formula.

They are both =SUM(F3:F7).

Double quotation converts the numbers to text, right? @Mohd…Assuming the 3 times are in A1:C1, your formula will be =SUM(A1:C1) and that should do it. I’ve looked for this many times but never found the answer. Right click the cell containing the date @Mike… assuming 19:55 is in B1 and 6:07 is in C1, try this in D1…=(C1+(C1 < B1)-B1)
