Formula Breakdown
- First, MOD(1,24) returns the value 1.
- Then, TIME(MOD(1,24),0,0) function takes the output of the previous function as the main text and returns 1:00 as the time format.
- Finally, TIME(MOD(1,24),0,0)+C5 function returns the final output.
- Next, apply the formula to the complete column by using the AutoFill tool.
- Finally, you will get the output as in the below image.
4. Adding 1 Hour to Time for a List of Date Time
In addition, you can add 1 hour to time for a list of dates and times. The process is quite similar. Here, I have the date and time combinations in the Order Time column and with these times I will add up to 1 hour to get the Delivery Times. Hence, go through the steps below.
📌Â Steps:
- Firstly, write down the following formula in Cell D5 and hit Enter.
=C5+(1/24)
- Now, you can use the AutoFill tool to get the result for the whole column.

For adding up the times simply with the addition operator you have to keep both of the values in the Time format like below.
📌Â Steps:
- First of all, insert the following formula in Cell D5 and hit Enter.
=C5+(1/24)
