Â
- MOD(B5/1440,1)*24
- Output: 0.783333333333333
Â
- MOD(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24,1)*60 → This part becomes,
- MOD(0.783333333333333,1)*60
- Output: 47
Â
- ROUND(MOD(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24,1)*60,0) → The ROUND function rounds a number to a specific digit. This part becomes,

- Output: 0
Â
- INT(B5/1440)
- Output: 0
Â
- =INT(B5/1440)&” days “&INT(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24)&” hours “&ROUND(MOD(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24,1)*60,0)&” minutes” → The final formula reduces to,

Hi. Thank you for the formula. I used it a bit different with 300 instead of 1440 and 5 instead of 24 which basically is 5 hours represent 1 day. it works but at some values it gives an error. if i have 1,2,3,4 or 5 hours total time, is alright. When i have a total of 6 hours which is 1 day 1 hour, it shows 1 day 1 hour 60 minutes. same for 7 hours (1 day 2 hours 60 minutes) which should only be 1 day 2 hours. Then it works fine for 8,9,10,11. Same issue for 12 hours and maybe more.
Do you have any advice on how to fix it?
Thank you!
Hello Cosmin,
To fix your issue, use the following formula.
Improved Excel Formula: =INT(B5/300) & ” days ” & INT(MOD(B5/300, 1) * 5) & ” hours ” & MOD(B5, 60) & ” minutes”
