Excel - Calculating time in MS Excel

Expert: Richard Rost - 10/30/2009

Question
Hi!, hope you can help, i am calculating time sheets, times in and out, on a daily basis. I need to be able to calculate the sum of each week, from hours worked each day, in terms of hours worked (hh:mm).

I especially need to see results if over 24 hours to be shown, for example as 26 hours 35 minutes, and not 2:35 as the result i am currently getting.

Thanks.

Answer
This tutorial should answer your question:

There are many different techniques in Excel you can use to break apart dates or times into their component parts, add or subtract dates, and figure out how much time is elapsed between two dates.

Read this free tutorial from my web site that explains how to work with adding dates and times in Excel:

I also have this FREE video tutorial that shows you how to get month names (like "September") from dates:
