Returns the number of whole minutes ( Number
value) explicitly specified if identifiable, or 0
if a minute is not found.
Sample usage
MINUTE("007:14:21")
returns 14
MINUTE(TIMENOW() - "00:00:00")
returns minutes since the top of the hour; the current minute of the hour. See also: TIMENOW()
Minutes in duration
MINUTE()
merely extracts the minutes component from a Duration
value; it does not
compute the number of minutes the Duration
value represents in total. To compute the total minutes comprising a Duration
value, use TOTALMINUTES()
.
Common problems
MINUTE(NOW())
(or any DateTime
or Time
value in place of NOW()
) causes Expression Assistant to complain, Parameter 1 of function MINUTE is of the wrong type
. The argument must be a Duration
value, not a DateTime
or Time
value. To fix, convert a DateTime
value to a Time
value with TIME()
, then subtract a zero time to convert a Time
value to a Duration
value: MINUTE(TIME(NOW()) - "00:00:00")
. See also: NOW()
, TIME()
Syntax
MINUTE( duration
)
- duration
- A
Durationvalue.
Notes
MINUTE(...)
is equivalent to (NUMBER(INDEX(SPLIT(TEXT(...), ":"), 2)) + 0)
when ...
is a Time
value. See also: INDEX()
, NUMBER()
, SPLIT()
, TEXT()
.
