Example sheet:
A B C D
Start Artist Song Title Duration

If you enter:

=B5-B4

then you can easily copy that down the column by click and dragging the little black box at the bottom right corner of the cell that you enter the formula in... the cells will automatically increase as you copy down.

This works well, but problem is when i reach to "end of a day":
A B C D
Start Artist Song Title Duration

23:58:37 REM Pop Song ?
00:03:50 Gang of Four Man in Uniform ?

Then result in column is ##########

How to fix this?
