Sum of hours

Hi,
Sorry to bother you :)

I yearly make maps with de profissional formation of the workers and need
to get the total of the hours spent in formation.

ButI never get the sum to work :( Would you please Help me to format it?

I'm adding it…

Thank you so much.

Hi Fernanda,

Format the cell containing each time to : 




Re-enter the time as 6 in each of the cell containing time.

In the sum area, create the formula: =SUM(H3:H74)

Format that cell as :



That will give you what you need.

First, your hours column (H) is formatted as 
Time, but the values you have somehow entered are 
actually text, so not numbers at all. You cannot 
sum text values. If you format the column first 
and *then* type the entries, you will get the 
genuine numerical times that you need.

And your formula to sum the values attempts to 
use the HOUR() function - inappropriately - but 
without giving it any argument. You need
=SUM(H3:H74)
instead, and you will probably need to format the result cell as
[HH]:MM

I trust this helps.
