Hey there, I am a beginner Excel user. I am trying to understand the use of double quotation mark for duration of time in formulas. Double quotation converts the numbers to text, right? But I am able to use it and it says as numbers in this formula; let's say there is 20:00:00, and I want to substract this from 30 hours. My formula would be ="30:00:00"-A2 and it works perfect! So here double quotation doesn't convert it to text. However, when I use double quotation in an IF formula inside a calculated field in pivottable, it doesn't work. For example: =IF('Field 1'>="1:00:00",1,0) Could you please explain and help me understand why I can not use double quotation in the if formula but I can use it when I substract it? I have been trying to understand this for 3 days... Going crazy. Thanks al lot...

hello my question is if i want to all time values in a specific cell and to restrict if time value is more than 24:00:00 then show dialog box error alert message etc Please any one help me...

What would you use if you had to sum these? I just need the total hours but am unable to find a solution. Ideas?
