I have produced an oracle discoverer 3.1 report based on manhours by person over a yearly period. The problem is that the information is stored on the oracle database as a number field. The user inputs the manhours taken as hh:mm with the mm being set to restrict no entry greater than 59.

Thew report retrieves the data as it was input ie 01:25 etc

but

when I wish to total the manhours for each person I can a calculated answer which is in error ie 01.55 + 02.15 = 03.70. I cannot get the answer to read 04.10hrs.

Could anyone please help.

thank you
