I'm attempting to calculate the difference of two time stamps in hh:mm:ss and it's giving me strange percentages that don't make sense.
Example: What's the percentage of 60:34:49 hours is out of 1689:40:25 total hours. If the frustration from the fact I need to compact these to hh:mm and drop the seconds?

it should be [h]:mm for the times.

Thanks James! I see those seconds were complicating things. I appreciate the help! BTW... those meatballs look amazing!

Showing the seconds (or not) don't matter in this calculation. What might matter is what you do to get rid of the seconds...

I have the meatballs up there to remind myself and others that I am a meatballer on this site. But I enjoy it.
