Sum duration with the result in hours

I try to sum children durations wich are in hours.

It works with the formula "=SUM(CHILDREN())" but the result is always in days.

I don't find how to change it.

Thank's in advance.

    =Sum(Children())*24+"h"

    Now keep in mind this will actually be a text value.

    How exactly are you pulling the H. This will help in the formula I would build for you.

  • I just enter for example 7h in the cell (I need the column in hours and if I don't enter it it will default to days).
