I need to track and post race results using mm:ss.xx format. I also need to
add/subtract times. Is there a function or format to do this?

Try the following custom format for your cell formatting.

mm:ss.00

Hope this helps / Lars-�ke

It works if there are minutes. If the results are less than a minute, it
converts it to hours. To get around this, all I can do is add leading zeros.
If there is another way, let me know. Otherwise, we'll stay this this
approach.

thanks for your help...it is greatly appreciated.

You can either add the leading zero or the trailing zero.
0:1:23
or 1:23.0
will give 01:23.00

You may be safer formatting as [mm]:ss.00, as the square brackets will deal
with times beyond 60 minutes.
