Solved! How do you keep time over 24 hours in the format h:mm? It keeps changing it to a day and time if over 24 hours. I'm trying to track total hours worked in a week.

Hi,
You can use a custom format of [h]:mm
Rule 1: Never merge cells
Rule 2: See rule 1

Does this help?

Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
Ok got it - now, if I want to enter a formula that will only pull the overtime hours from that total, how would I go about that? I've tried this set up and keep getting an error in my formula. Example: cell a4 contains the total time worked in the week (44:34). I typed this formula in cell b4 : =IF(a4>40:00, a4-40:00, 0). I want cell b4 to only show the 4:34 of overtime. Is this possible?
=IF(a4>TIMEVALUE("40:00:00"), a4-TIMEVALUE("40:00:00"), 0)
40 hours in Excel is equivalent to 40/24 so you can use
=IF(A4>40/24,A4-40/24,0)
or simpler.....
=MAX(0,A4-40/24)
Audere est facere
Thank you! That worked! My boss said it couldn't be done, but I knew I was on the right track, just had to tweak it. I'm doing a little hurrah dance in your honor! Thanks for everyone's help!
