    How do I sum hh:mm cells?

    I have a SS where users enter the time spent on a job as hh:mm. The cells are formatted as Custom hh:mm and are summed using =SUM(OFFSET(INDIRECT("A1"),8,COLUMN()-1,ROW()-9,1)), and that cell is also formatted as Custom hh:mm.
    Trouble is, the total is wrong.
    For example: the three cells containing 03:40, 20:15, and 02:00 should add to either 25:55 or 01:01:55 (to represent dd:hh:mm), but it actually totals as 01:55.
    How can I get a useful representation of the true sum. I don't mind what it is, but is certainly shouldn't be 01:55.
