    trying to total times

    Hello, I have been searching this site for an answer before posting but no joy. What i want to do is add together cells containing times eg cell D174 shows 00:19:03 and cell D175 shows 00:00:58. how do I make cell D180 show 00:20:01. This is just a small example as ultimately i need to add a long column of these sorts of times.
    Thank you.

    Each of your times is preceded by a single space. This formula will add them

    =SUMPRODUCT(TRIM(A1:A172)+0)

    custom format A174 as [h]:mm:ss

    the square brackets ensure that hours over 24 can be displayed

    You can make the SUM formula work if you select column A and use Edit > Replace to replace a space with nothing
