Adding a contiguos column of times
I have a column of times in the format of hours:minutes:seconds, running through h2 to h353. Typical values are 00:00:44, 00:01:12, 00:05:43 etc When trying to perform a total sum, using the formula =sum(h2:h353), it returns a value of 0. i have ensured the formating is both in time, general and text. Am I doing anything obvioulsy wrong?

RE: Adding a contiguos column of times
ok for the record, I have managed to resolve this. Click on an empty cell adjacent to the relevant column, and then selct the Fx and select the TIMEVALUE function. When prompted, click one of the cells in the column that needs summating and this will then be converted to a serial value. Use the fill handle to drag the cell down so that it matches the adjacent column. This will convert all of the times in serial values. Autosum this column and then reformat the total to a time in the relevant units.
