I have rows/columns of times that looks like this:
DateScheduled Appt DurationActual Appt DurationAQR Appt Duration
12/1/176:004:375:03
12/4/170:000:000:00
12/5/176:005:027:10
12/6/175:302:142:34
12/7/176:004:004:46
12/8/170:000:000:00
12/11/176:002:014:02
12/12/172:152:172:16

The times are pulled from another worksheet in the workbook.

I want to sum the columns to show the total hours and minutes, but I keep getting a really incorrect answer at the end of the columns. The first column should add up to 31.45.

The SUM cell formula is =SUM(B2:B21) and it's formatted as [h]:mm. HELP!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Hello,

It looks as if in the column to the right ...20:11 is correct ...

Have you tried to copy from this cell back to the previous one ...???

Double check your formatting. I copied your text to a spreadsheet, and got the same result. I then reformatted the problem cell to [h]:mm, and got 31:45.

I would check formatting and the formula as suggested. I copied your table into a new sheet and re-did the formula then made sure it was formatted properly and I got 31:45.
