Hi Derek,
I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to use the basic functions in the file I sent, you can import them, but I think it's not really necessary. If you use the format string '[MM]]:SS' you'll get minutes only with the hours included. i.e. 43:36 plus 30:12 will give you 73:48. The only problem is that you still have to enter the numbers as 0:43:36. When only two numbers are entered, it's assumed that the seconds have been left off, not the hours.

Hi Derek,
I've attached a sample calc file with two basic functions. One writes minutes and seconds in the format you want. The other takes that type of string and converts it back to seconds. In order to get the display you want, format the cells as 'text'. You'll be able to enter minutes:seconds without having them change automatically to hours:minutes.

Thanks. Anthony, that's an interesting way of dealing with the problem. I couldn't work out how to get the basic functions into the input line though. It just ended up with text when I tried it.
