timevalue over 24 hours

Karen

I'm converting text info to time format using =TIMEVALUE
(D2), the destination cell is formatted with [h]:mm:ss.
The formula works fine as long as orig value is less than
24 hours. If over it returns wrong value: 29:56:33,
returns 5:56:33. I thought [h] resolved that issue. Can
someone help me solve this puzzle?

Thanks!!!

Hi
TIMEVALUE won't return values >24 hours. If you could post your source
data a different solution should be easily possible

Don't use TIMEVALUE, use

=--D2

For everyone's benefit keep the discussion in the newsgroup.

Timevalue does only time, not date. So all multiples of 24 hours are
discarded when you use this function.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

The following is the column I need to convert to
[h]:mm:ss. Since a portion is in mm:ss I can't convert
the entire column using the same formula. I need the
results to be in hh:mm:ss with some values exceeding 24
hours. I thought I had the solution from the =TIMEVALUE
but wasn't aware of the 24 hour limit. argh. THANKS for
your help.
