Hello,
I am trying to find a way to either import my data, preformat cells or reformat cells in order to display the 0 that would display in the "hour" area of a time display when that time is less than 1 hour. I import quite a bit of "time" data into excel and it is often in increments that are less than a hour, for example; :37:15 = thirty seven minutes and fifteen seconds. When I want to sum these types of entries though excel interprets the total as a time which is not what I need. I find though that when I add the 0 in the hour area of the time it does total the times correctly. For example 0:37:15 + 0:24:07 = 1:01:22 whereas if I try to add :37:15 + :24:07 = I get 0:00:00 as if excel doesn't know what to do with it? Does anyone have any ideas on how I could overcome this?
