CATEGORY: Excel Date & Time Formulas

VERSIONS: All Microsoft Excel Versions

Problem:

Creating a formula that will return a time value which is
the sum of the time in A2 and the number of hours in B2.

Solution:

=A2+B2/24
Ensure that the result cell is formatted [hh]:mm to correctly display a time.

Time_____Hours to Add___Result
10:30____4.5____________15:00
17:00____5.2____________22:12
14:12____0.6____________14:48
