Sum Minutes and Display HH:MM on Bar Graph grouped by day

Hi and thanks for reading,

 

I have a column that contains minutes as a whole number

 

How can I sum the field that contains minutes as an integer, grouped by day, and display on the bar graph as HH:MM?

 

Thank you,

Will

Hi @willz06jw,

 

If you add [Day] into X-axis of bar graph, add the field that contains minutes as an integer to "Values" of bar graph and choose "Sum" aggregation, it will sum up minutes automatically grouped by day. However, displaying the total value as HH:MM format is not possible. As Y-axis supports only numeric values currently.
