Default Calculating time using minutes.

Assuming that you are entering the times as minutes (15, 30, 45 etc.) into
the cells of a column in a table, in the cell where you want the total to
appear, you can used the formula

{ = SUM(ABOVE)/60 }

If you are using .15 for 15 minutes, then you would use

{ = SUM(ABOVE)/.6

However, using 1.5 for one hour and 30 minutes, will not give you the
correct result. You would have to use .90 for that; two hours would be 1.2
etc.

I am going to input them as 15 min intervals. I do not know what you mean
as
format, unless you mean time = .15. I guess that would be ordinary text. I
am
not using FormFields. This is just as a column with the time in it. (Note
this is in Word.)

Thank you for responding. DB.
