3. Combination of INT and MOD Functions to Convert Minutes
In this section, I will show how you can convert minutes to days, hours, and minutes in Excel. This time, I will use a combination of the INT, ROUND, and MOD functions. Let’s do it step by step.
Steps:
- Go to C5 and write down the following formula
=INT(B5/1440)&" days "&INT(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24)&" hours "&ROUND(MOD(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24,1)*60,0)&" minutes"
Formula Breakdown
- MOD(B5/1440,1) → This will return the remainder after dividing 47/1440 by 1.
- Output: 0.0326388888888889
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,
- ROUND(47,0)
- Output: 47
Â
- INT(MOD(B5/1440,1)*24)
- 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,
- 0&” days “&0&” hours “&47&” minutes”
- Output: 0 days 0 hours 47 minutes
