Elapsed-Time Meters not showing proper time in spreadsheet.

Using Lookout 6.1

A couple of different issues.

I am using ETM to record pump run hours.  This part works very well.

Where I run into problems is when I use a spreadsheet to record the values. 

In the Spreadsheet1 object I set the ETM1 format to HH:MM and yet in the 'Spreadsheet1.csv ' pump 1 shows 2015:12:55 (Hours are right) but I don't understand why it will not transfer just HH:MM.  Yet in the same Spreadsheet1 object I take another ETM2 and set the format to HH:MM it shows 52365:45 (Hours are right).

 

I then use Spreadsheet2 to grab the data once a month to record daily pump hours.

 

However if I try and and do any math formulas with ETM2 they do not work.  (Formats are set HH:MM)

The ETM1 formulas work and takes the raw data 2015:12:55 and formats to HH:MM.

 

Does it stop working because the ETM reaches a too high number? 

 

Side note: If I create a new ETM can I input hours somehow to reflect exsisting run hours?

I would suggest using SQL & ODBC to get the runtime hours based on your digital monitor, instead of the ETM timer.

Good luck.
