How do you add hours on a time sheet? I'm trying to come up with a spreadsheet where my employees can type in their time in's and time out's throughout the day and Excel will add them up daily and weekly. I am able to add the hours in a day but when I try to add up the hours for the week, the sum reverts back to zero once you get to 24 hours. It's almost like the computer is reading the 24 hours as one day and it won't allow me to go over that 24th hour. I also want my employees to be able to type in the actual time and not have to convert it. (For example, for 1:30 pm, they would type that in. Not 13.50.)
 
Format the result cell as [h]:mm and when it goes above 24 hours, it won't
roll-back to 0.

Hi 3throks

Re: "I also want my employees to be able to type in the actual time

But they can just type in 1:30 pm

You might format the cell differently to show 13:30 To do that format
hh:mm. The entry of 1:30 pm will then get displayed as 13:30
