I want to convert to HH:MM, but I always get HH:MM:SS


Here’s my formula:

TEXT({Duration (Decimal hours)}*3600,“HH:MM”)


This is the result:


What am I doing wrong?

@jscottsmith


It’s not you.


Here’s two answers:


LEFT(RIGHT(" "&TEXT({Duration (Decimal hours)}*3600,"HH:MM"),8),5)

REGEXEXTRACT(TEXT({Duration (Decimal hours)}*3600,"HH:MM"),"(.*):00")

Thanks Jim.


Sense like they would differentiate between HHMM and HHMMSS in a function like this.

Can I do the opposite? Convert from HH:MM to a decimal hours?


@omerg


If you are referring to an “Hour” column, this will do it:

TIMEVALUE("1/1/1 " & {Hour}) * 24
