I have a column of times representing hours, minutes and seconds. Most of the times are only minutes and seconds. 2:37 represents 2 minutes and 37 seconds, not 2:37AM. At the bottom of the column I need a total of hours minutes and seconds. As soon as the total exceeds 24 it reverts to whatever in excess of 24:00 hours it is. It's stuck on time as in a 24 hour clock. I need the total amount of hours, minutes and seconds.

If I need to write 2 minutes and 37 seconds as 0:02:37 I can but only the total at the bottom will include an "hour" number. All other cells will be single digit minutes and double digit seconds.

How can I do this? Thanks in advance.
