Hi Mark

Within the chart properties, go to the 'Number' tab and select time.  This allows you to reformat the time as you see fit (select the Time radio button and adjust the Format Pattern).

I hope this helps - let me know how you get on.

Or use the maketime(sum(hours)) function.

Hi

Time is represented internally as a fraction of a day, so 0.25 is 6:00am (or 6 hours), 0.5 = 12:00 noon (or 12 hours).

Time() will format the fraction to a time of day. Interval will format the fraction as hours.

So in your case, you could use

     =Interval(sum(hours) / 24)

Hope that helps

=interval(interval#(sum(hours),'hh'),'hh:mm:ss')

It sounds like the hour simply being recognised as a number.  Use the formula below - although you may want to incorporate something into your script possibly to ensure you do not have to repeat the formula within your charts.

All the best.
