How can I count hours & minutes??!!

[jamespickett23]

The problem I got is that the format is in 24 hour clock, so when im counting hours it defalts back to 00:00:00 after 60 hours of counting (I don't know why 60).

Im looking for a way to count up to 1000 hours including minutes

e.g. 956:35:00 = 956Hours 35Mins 00Seconds

Any help is most appriciated.

Format the cell as [h]:mm:ss (note the square brackets)

60 hours, are you sure you don't mean 24?

If you format the cell as [h]:mm:ss you can see more than 24 as the hour
count.
