    Counting duration of songs

    Hi people, I need help with Excell formula!

    in F column I have duration of songs in mm:ss (ex. 03:30) and in A I have to count it in format hh:mm.

    So for example, if songs stars exactly in midnight 00:00 and duration of it is 03:30 in A1 must be 00:03.

    The tabel must look like:
    00:00 (midnight) Kylie Minogue - All The Lovers 03:00
    00:03 Take That - The Flood 04:00
    00:07 ... etc. (I need this for 24h)

    thanks a lot!

    Re: Help with Excel formula

    If everything is numeric, should simply be a case of addition.
    For example in A3 dragged down
    =A2+F2 formatted in hh:mm
    If that's not working, upload an example spreadsheet. That way we can get a better idea of layout and formatting.

    Re: Counting duration of songs

    Your song duration column was formatted to h:mm and not mm:ss. However, even if you are formatted as mm:ss, you need to enter as if there are 0 hours like so
    for 5 min 30 seconds, enter 0:5:30 (note the colons)
    Once that is set up, then the equation I gave above should work. See attachment.
