First of all thank you very much for the reply.

I have tried the formula that you have provided but I get the error stating 'There's a problem with this formula'

the new issue that I am having is that if there is a single number of hours minutes and seconds it will not bring it out correctly.

an example would be 1h 1m 1s. this would be brought back as 00:01:11.
any help would be brilliant
