       +
       DATEPART(
         ss,
         (convert(datetime,'34:03',1))
       )
     ),
     0
   ),
   108
 )
 As Total

i got Error.

The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

Just select the time which was you need to sum as hour min:

CAST(sum(DATEDIFF(MINUTE, 0, time)) / 60 AS VARCHAR(8)) + ':' + FORMAT(sum(DATEDIFF(MINUTE, 0, time)) % 60, 'D2') AS [Totalhour]
