I've been using Excel to graph aggregate listening hours for our radio station www.am91.org. The time format that has worked until this month has been hhhh:mm:ss and the graph has worked well... until this month when the number of listening hours went above 10000.

Using 4 digit hours, Excel converted the time to a standard serial date. I doesn't work with 5-digit hours.

I've tried to convert using =hours(c2)+(minutes(c2)/60)+(seconds(c2)/3600) and it worked for the 4 digit hours but not for the 5 digit.

Other than breaking up the cells into individual cells, I'm at a loss...
 
Wow! It's the end of the day and I have two great options that will work.

Thanks so much for your help!
