Convert number to time format

I am trying to convert a column to time format. The minutes in the column REPLY_TIME_IN_CALENDAR_MINUTES are in data type Decimal Number. 

The number I trying to convert is 4805 which should be 80h:5m:0s or 3d:8h:5m but I am getting everything correct except the days.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please, find the options below:

In case of calculated columns:

d:h:m = 
VAR currentNum = 'T'[Minutes]
RETURN
INT(currentNum/1440) & ":" &                         
RIGHT("0" & INT(MOD(currentNum/60,24)),2) & ":" &    
RIGHT("0" & INT(MOD(currentNum/1,60)),2) 
hh:mm:ss = 
VAR currentNum = 'T'[Minutes]
RETURN
RIGHT("0" & INT (currentNum/60),2) & ":" &           
RIGHT("0" & INT(MOD(currentNum,60)),2) & ":" &          
RIGHT("0" & INT(MOD(currentNum,1)),2) 

If you need a measure, then replace 

var currentNum = 'T'[Minutes]
with 
var currentNum = SELECTEDVALUE('T'[Minutes])

@ERD Is there a way to get a sum or an average of that measure? Since that is text I can't get a good measure by that.

@Anonymous ,

Work with minutes and then convert to the needed format.

E.g.: var avgMinutes = AVERAGE('number to time format'[Minutes])

@Anonymous , Try like

 

time([REPLY_TIME_IN_CALENDAR_MINUTES]/60, trunc(mod([REPLY_TIME_IN_CALENDAR_MINUTES],60),0), ([REPLY_TIME_IN_CALENDAR_MINUTES] -trunc([REPLY_TIME_IN_CALENDAR_MINUTES],0))*100/60)
