Works: Creating a Total for a Series of Time Calculations (81177)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Works 2.0
- Microsoft Works 3.0
This article was previously published under Q81177 SUMMARY
To perform the SUM function on cells that are formatted with a
time/date format in Microsoft Works, you must first convert
the data in the cells to numeric format.
To accomplish this conversion, create a new column in the spreadsheet
and enter a formula that multiplies the time stored in the time/date
formatted cells by 24. This converts the time entered in the original
cell(s) to an equivalent decimal value; this decimal number can be
added correctly using the SUM function. You can use this method for a
spreadsheet cell value (or range of cell values) as well as database
field values.
