How to make an addition of time in Excel minutes and hours I believe hours are easy because you just need to sum all the numbers but how about minutes I want to track my time if I have already 8 hours of work per day.
I want to input the task then Excel will compute the minute :) so is there a specific formula for this?

Solutionu have two options for adding time in Excel, depending on whether you want to:
1. Add multiple existing times:
In this case, you can simply use the SUM function. Excel treats times as fractions of a day, so adding them together will automatically combine hours and minutes.
For example, let's say you have the following times in cells A1 and A2:
To find the total time, enter the following formula in cell A3:
This will display the result as 15:45, which is the sum of the two times.
2. Add a specific duration to a time:
If you want to add a specific duration (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour) to an existing time, you can use the TIME function along with addition.
For example, let's say you have a start time in cell B1 (e.g., 9:00 AM) and want to calculate the end time after adding 1 hour and 30 minutes. You can use the following formula in cell B2:
This formula breaks down the additional duration into hours (1), minutes (30), and seconds (0) and adds it to the start time in cell B1. The result will be displayed as 10:30 AM.
Additional tip:
By using these methods, you can easily add time in Excel and track your work hours effectively.

A quick follow-up let's see I want to make it cooler I input details in cell A3 with a value say 15 minutes then I want cell B3 to be the one to record the matter how will cell B3 know if the input value in cell A3 is an hour, minute, seconds?
Aside from making a multiple column to input different units of time
Sample
Any other way in making that?

Based on the information you've provided and the image you sent, here are two approaches to achieve your desired functionality in Excel:
Method 1: Using Text to Columns and Formulas
Convert input to text:
Split text into components:
=TEXTSPLIT(A3, " ", 2)
This extracts two parts: the number (before the space) and the unit (after the space).
Convert unit to hours:
=IF(B3="minutes", B2/60, IF(B3="seconds", B2/3600, B2))
This checks the unit in B3 and applies the appropriate conversion factor:
Method 2: Using VBA Macro
Create a macro:
Add the following VBA code:
Function ConvertTime(timeValue As String) As Double Dim parts As Variant parts = Split(timeValue, " ") Select Case LCase(parts(1)) Case "minutes" ConvertTime = Val(parts(0)) / 60 Case "seconds" ConvertTime = Val(parts(0)) / 3600 Case Else ConvertTime = Val(parts(0)) End Select End Function
Use the function in cell B3:
=ConvertTime(A3)
Explanation:
Choosing the method:
Additional considerations:
By implementing one of these methods, you can achieve the desired functionality of automatically converting user-entered time values with units (minutes, seconds) to hours in Excel,
