I have a set of data that is represented in minutes. This data needs to be converted to hours and the remainder to minutes.
For example, in column A I have 120 and in Column B I need to present the data in the hh:mm format. I have tried this: =A1/60
which gives me 2
as a result in column B, indicating that 120 minutes is 2 hours.
But for a record that contains data such as 179 minutes, this gets converted to 2.98333
hours after my A1/60 formula, so this approach does not work. The result I need is hours and minutes: 02:59
How can I convert my minutes entries to display in the hh:mm format?
What I've tried:
60 - because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour
=a1/60
Minutes A/60 result hh:mm needed
A B C
120 2 02:00
179 2.98333 02:59
h:mm
