    Custom time format, how to create specific format?

    Hello friends, I need to ask for another favor from you guys:

    when I sum up a time in a cell, I want to display it as this (for example): "10 Hours 17 Minutes"

    I can't manage to display these words (Hours and Minutes) in the cell. What should I write in the custom formula bar?

    Hi You can use below formula

    =HOUR(SUM(C3:C5))&"Hours(s) "&MINUTE(SUM(C3:C5))&"Minute(s)"

    cell format should be general (i have considered data in cell C3 to C5)
