SumIF and time. Going back to 1 when more than 24 hours are calculated

Hello all. I have a spreadsheet that automatically calculates downtime based off of military time entered into two other columns on a corresponding tab. I use a SUMIF function below to come up with a total downtime for each server in all columns "E", and add the downtime together from all columns "D". Spreadsheet tab is called Incidents.

=SUMIF(Incidents!E:E,A53,Incidents!D:D)

It works great, but I am now discovering an issue that once a total accrued down time exceeds 24 hours, the total downtime calculated by my SUMIF is bringing the time down to 1. So, 24:53 of total downtime is being expressed as 1:53, which skews some subsequent columns that I have calculating uptime percentage.

Can anyone assist with being able to keep my downtime from reducing down to 1 after 24 hours is exceeded?

Thanks so much in Advance.

How have you formatted the cell with the formula in it?

If the result may exceed 24 hours you should format it as [h]:mm.

Norie, God, I am guilty of classic overthinking! Thank you so much for the clarity. I got so wrapped up in the code that I didn't even think about the column format.

Thanks again!
