TIMEVALUE in Excel convert greater than 24 hours

Question

I would like to convert text time into real time via TIMEVALUE function in Excel. Time up to 24:00 converts fine, for time greater than 24 hours it converts into hours but excluding 24, I already used custom format [h]:mm, please see my printscreen.

Answer 1

It sounds like you are using the TIMEVALUE function for text-to-time conversion. Use the VALUE function instead and format as [hh]:mm.

If you want to convert in-place, then use the Data ribbon's Text-to-Columns command.
