Total hours is date is the same

[scott488]

Moning All,

This might take some explaining so I've added a document that may make it easier to understand.

In column A, I have a series of dates.
In column B, I have a series of hours and minutes

What I want to be able to do is total the number of hours and minutes for each day and display the results in column C.

Hope that makes sense!

and format as [h]:mm:ss

Hi,

One way, and since your times are text rather than proper time numbers (i.e. decimals of a day) we need some string conversion involved, is as follows.

Add an extra row so that the data starts in A2

Now in C2 which should be formatted as time ("hh:mm") enter the following formula and copy down.

This will give you a cumulative daily total.

What I suspect you're really after is just the total for each day. In which case extract a unique list of dates into say column E, then change the formula above and leave out the last bit with the +IF

Now you can use SUMIF() to sum the daily totals from column C.

Authurbr,

My apologies, I have changed the format to [h]:mm:ss

That works for the one cell with the date shown (04/01/11), but I would like it to work this out across multiple dates.

Unless I've missed something?

I've added a new example to show what I would prefer to see once the formula is copied across the cells in column C
