Time can be a bit annoying in excel i think you might have to add the 5minutes in milliseconds to get the desired result but i am not completly sure. There are a load of great tutorials on this if you google Time calculations formaula excel you will get loads, heres a few examples

the second one is a fairly good site for all things excel, though i would also google MR excel which is a great site where the forums are answered quite quickly and helpfully, i got an answer to a random thread i started within the hour which is a good time considering the answerer could be in a completly different timezone
