    Unhappy Total SUM Value - Showing the wrong value

    I have attached a excel timesheet that I'm trying to create. The SUM of the Total Column stands out to be 1:00 all the time.

    Please help!

    March-2013 Timesheet - Total Time.xlsx

    When your sum exceeds 24 hours, it recycles backto zero because it is now a time in the next day (1 day = 24 hours)

    To display a "cumulative" time, custom format the formula cell as [h]:mm

    Hi Rhoni,

    Check this out - it says to multiply your formula by 24 and make it into general format - it yields 49:
