00:00:11 + 00:00:25 = 00:00:36 or 0.01 hours

I cannot seem to get the =SUM() function to work with the HH:MM:SS time values.

Thanks for any help!

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
A1: 00:01:11
B1: 00:00:25

=SUM(A1:B1)

Custom format the formula cell as [hh]:mm:ss.

Note A1:B1 must be true time values, i.e. numbers.

Looks like your 00:00:11 and 00:00:25 are text strings, not numbers; SUM ignores them.
Try the following:

==(--A1+--B1)*24
