    Adding number of hours and minutes from different cells

    Hi All,

    I have data validation boxes containing numbers. 1 column is for # of hours the other column contains # quarterly minute options.

    I need to find out how, when selected, the hours and minutes will calculate as hours and minutes rather than on a quarter system

    i.e. column 1 column2 total or it add everything up but does not provide me with the total # of hour/minutes


    1 :15 1.25

    any help would be appreciated

    Thanks!~

    Perhaps:

    =TEXT(A1&":"&B1,"hh:mm")

    or

    =TIMEVALUE(A1&":"&B1) and format as time

    I should clarify.

    I have 13 columns in this document. I want to add each hour amount and each quarterly minute selection and get a total number of hours

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    here is the practice document.

    as you can see, I need the hours and minutes to correctly add like a clock counter and total the number of hours and minutes provided

    Oh. You were SO close!

    =SUM(I13:I40)/24+SUM(K13:K40)/1440
