Thread: Adding times

Nothing is bold as I see the message. However, it appears that you are
trying to display the sum of times that will exceed 24 hours. Instead
of working so hard, why not use a custom format of
[h]:mm

If there is some reason to continue your current approach,
SUM(L4:L70)*24 is more accurate, easier to type, and easier to
understand than SUM(L4:L70)/0.04166667

It is not clear to me what you're trying to do.
Why not just SUM the times and format as time or Custom format as [h]:mm?
