Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet with my running times:
Three columns with Date, Location and Time.

I am trying to have the time display as mm:ss - for example, I want it to display 58:27 (fifty eight minutes and twenty seven seconds). My goal is to have the data to create graphs showing my times.

I have tried formatting the cells, but when I do this, it displays strange. Below is a screenshot of how typing in 58:27 displays. See, it makes no sense!!

Can anyone help?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
