Minutes to Hours to Days Calculator

Greetings, 

 

I am doing some work on a previously built PowerBI Dashboard, and have the following cacluated field, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. It works great for anything that is greater than 60 minutes, but anything less than 60 minutes comes up as (BLANK). I'm guessing it's just a little issue, but I can't seem to figure out what's missing. 

 

Minimum Time for Completion = IF(SUM('Course Information'[MIN])/60>=1&&SUM('Course Information'[MIN])/1440<1,ROUND(SUM('Course Information'[MIN])/60,2)&" Hours",
          IF(SUM('Course Information'[MIN])/1440>=1,ROUND(SUM('Course Information'[MIN])/1440,2)&" Day"))
 
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi! @LFrench 

 

Try this, also attaching the pbix.

MinimumTimeForCompletion =
VAR TotalMinutes = SUM('Time'[Mins])
VAR TotalHours = INT(TotalMinutes / 60)
VAR RemainingMinutes = MOD(TotalMinutes, 60)
VAR TotalDays = INT(TotalMinutes / 1440)
VAR RemainingHours = INT(MOD(TotalMinutes, 1440) / 60)
VAR RemainingDayMinutes = MOD(TotalMinutes, 60)

RETURN
IF(
    TotalMinutes >= 1440,
    TotalDays & " Day" & IF(TotalDays > 1, "s ", " ") & RemainingHours & " Hour" & IF(RemainingHours > 1, "s ", " ") & RemainingDayMinutes & " Minute" & IF(RemainingDayMinutes > 1, "s", ""),
    IF(
        TotalMinutes >= 60,
        TotalHours & " Hour" & IF(TotalHours > 1, "s ", " ") & RemainingMinutes & " Minute" & IF(RemainingMinutes > 1, "s", ""),
        TotalMinutes & " Minute" & IF(TotalMinutes > 1, "s", "")
    )
)
