Subtracting Dates

[thesuggs76]

I am subtracting dates to work out the length of time. In many of the instances the time is more than 24 hours I would like the time to be displayed in Hours:min:ss so it would be 48:12:12 but I cant get it too work
Any suggestions, every time I do it I'm getting the 24/01/1990 11:20:38. I understand the first part is Excels way of putting number into time, but it would be best if it were purely in hours
Thanks

Try formatting the result cell as Custom [h]:mm:ss
