Hi Joe,
Of course, but Derek wants to display minutes only, not hours. so 40
minutes plus 30 minutes will give him 70 minutes, not one hour and ten
minutes.

p.s. I'm using 2.0 as well. Do you know how to find the build? I know
it's buried deep in the menu somewhere but I've forgotten where.

Not to be argumentative, if you simply format the cell as time choose
the 5th item down in the format column which shows " 876613:37:46 " it
will give you a format of HH:MM:SS without formula parsing or string
ceations. This is the case with OOo v2.0 at least.

Hi Derek,
Formatting the cells using mm:ss will display only minutes and
seconds. That is, hours are not displayed. In your example, you'd
still have to enter the hours i.e. 0:42:34. What will be displayed is
42:34. In the second cell entering 0:24:33 will display 24:33.
Unfortunately, when you add them, the cell formatted mm:ss will
display 07:07. If you want to show the sum of the minutes, you'll
have to use a formula that parses the string into minutes and
seconds, does the addition, then creates a new string formatted the
way you want.

Input your time as 00:42:34 and 00:24:33 and then they will sum as
01:07:07.

Hello,
Using OOo 2.0 on windows XP + SP2 (but it seems to be the same in
1.1.4). This is my first time in trying to use calc to do time
calculations, and I'm having trouble with the formating. I've
looked at most of the user docs that I can find, and very little is
said about time formating. Basically I want a 'true' format of
MM:SS both for input and for output. So I'd like to input "42:34"
and have interpreted as 42 min and 34 sec, not 42 hours and 34 min
- which is what it seems to be doing at the moment and then just
showing the minutes and seconds part. I'd then like a cell to show
73:05 when added to a cell with 24:33. I think this might be a bug.
I looked at issue tracker, but it's a complected item to search for.
