Convert Hours to Days and Minutes

Hi there 

 

I'm trying to convert a duration total to Days, Hours and Minutes.

 

So for instance someone works 7 hours a day and over the course of a month has worked 560 hours. Im trying to covert 560 hours to X days, x hours, x minutes.

 

I just cant seem to do this and i'd be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

 

Many thanks

Karen

I see I made a mistake while converting the hours, also I didn't consider that your working day is 7 hours... please try this, it should work:

OverTime =
VAR OverTimeHours = [OverTimeHoursMeasure]
VAR Days = INT ( WorkingHours / 7 )
VAR Hours = INT ( WorkingHours - Days * 7 )
VAR Minutes = ROUND ( MOD ( WorkingHours, 1 )* 60 , 0)
RETURN
Days & " Days " & Hours & " Hours " & Minutes & " Minutes"

Hi there

 

Thank you for getting back to me. Unfortunately, it doesnt quite work. Here's my result using your formula . Format 2 is your formula and Duration (h) is the number of hours they've done. So for instance Garden, Duration (h) =  32.50. So really they've worked 4 days 4 hours. Can you help with this please.

 

Thank you

Karen

Try this (replace [OverTimeHoursMeasure] with the correct measure name):

 

 

OverTime =
VAR OverTimeHours = [OverTimeHoursMeasure]
VAR Days = INT ( WorkingHours / 24 )
VAR Hours = INT ( WorkingHours - INT ( WorkingHours / 24 ) )
VAR Minutes = ROUND ( MOD ( WorkingHours, 1 )* 60 , 0)
RETURN
Days & " Days " & Hours & " Hours " & Minutes & " Minutes"

 

 

Thanks, I had a similar question and I figured it out using your proposed solution.
