In creating a soccer scorecard I would like to figure out how to display on
the scorecard minutes played during a game. Our soccer team plays four 9
minute quarters (36 minutes total). I want to display for each player the
time IN and OUT and then TOTAL minutes played. But, I don't want Excel to
convert this into ACTUAL time (as in time of day).

For example, I want the spreadsheet to show Player A started the 1st quarter
at 36 minutes. He substituted out at 29 minutes (so he played 7 minutes in
the 1st quarter). He started the 2nd qtr at 27 minutes and then sub out at
22 minutes. He started the 3rd qtr at 18 minutes and played the entire qtr.
He started the last qtr at 9 minutes and sub out at 2 minutes. I want it to
show all the MINUTES and then grand total the TOTAL minutes played.

I can't figure out how to format the cell and then how to input the minutes.
I would like to see 36:00, 29:00, 27:00, 22:00, 18:00, 09:00, 02:00. Is
this possible?

Why don't you just use integers and subtract, start in A1, subbed in B1

=A1-B1

Or use the same formula, custom format as [mm]:ss

then enter the times as 0:36:00 and 0:27:00

Then total and =SUM(Range) and use the same custom format

I formatted the cell (I used the Custom mm:ss, but I changed it to show your

shows a huge number, like 51840:00. How am I, exactly, to enter the minutes
of, say, 36 or 27 or 9, etc?

If you use time format e.g the custom format I showed then enter a time like
0:36:00
36 and using time format means that excel sees it as 36 days after Jan 0
1900 or 36x24x60 minutes
Use 0:36:00, if you use 36 use General format

Now, my last issue...I'm trying to show a '% of game played.' For example,
36 min is the total game time. After using the custom formula and doing a
formula to show the TOTAL minutes played, how do I show what % of 36 minutes
(i.e. total game time) they played??

In addition to my previous question I have to, somehow, convert the minutes

that?

This is an answer to both your latest question, you can certainly use
percentage when calculating time assume
C2 holds the time 0:36:00 and D2 holds the total time played, for instance
00:21:00 displayed as 21:00

=D2/C2

format result as percentage returns 58.33%

if you want to convert minutes to integers multiply with 1440 and format as
general or number

Great, it works. But, I want to have in the CELL the formula D2/00:36:00 and
