I have a spreadsheet that has rows of employees.  The header row lists Name,
Mon, Tues, etc, through Friday, with TOTAL HOURS WORKED at the end.  Each
row, under day of week listed the employee's work hours (ex: Under Monday I
have 7:36 - they worked 7hrs and 36 minutes).  How do I calculate the TOTAL
HOURS WORKED for the week?  I assume there is a formula, but I can't figure
it out for hours:minutes worked per week.  Thanks so much for any assistance!

=sum(B2:F2) or =B2+C2+D2+E2+F2
Format the result as [h]:mm

That's what I've done, but the total doesn't compute...  This is what I get:

7:54    6:39    7:02    8:09    7:23    TOTAL  181:07

when it should be totalling something over 43 hours and *** minutes...  

I'm obviously missing something...  :(

I get 37:07 when I add those values.

My bet is that your values aren't what you see in the cell.  You're only seeing
the pretty formatted text--not the real value.

If you select each cell and look at the formula bar, what values do you see
there.

UPDATE:  I've tried using the [h]:mm & the [hh]:mm formats for the TOTAL
HOURS WORKED cell, but it doesn't compute:

7:54 + 6:39 + 7:02 + 8:09 + 7:23 + 7:50 is equalling 188:57??

What am I doing wrong??  ARGH!!!

Your difference is exactly 6 days, so it looks as if your input cells
include dates, though you are displaying only the times.
