How to convert minutes (a measure) to hours and minutes

Hello

 

I just want to convert minutes (a measure of duration of appointments) to hours and minutes. I can calculate the hours but have problems with the minutes (in the same expression).

Can anyone tell me how to get the column hh:mm.

Hi  @boa ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

Measure =
var hourNo=INT([Sum duration]/60)
var minuteNO=MOD([Sum duration],60)
return
FORMAT(hourNo,"#00")&":"&FORMAT(minuteNO,"#00")

2. Result:
