[sql-server] How to convert number of minutes to hh:mm format in TSQL?

This function is to convert duration in minutes to readable hours and minutes format. i.e 2h30m. It eliminates the hours if the duration is less than one hour, and shows only the hours if the duration in hours with no extra minutes.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[MinutesToDuration]
(
    @minutes int 
)
RETURNS nvarchar(30)

AS
BEGIN
declare @hours  nvarchar(20)

SET @hours = 
    CASE WHEN @minutes >= 60 THEN
        (SELECT CAST((@minutes / 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) + 'h' +  
                CASE WHEN (@minutes % 60) > 0 THEN
                    CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) + 'm'
                ELSE
                    ''
                END)
    ELSE 
        CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) + 'm'
    END

return @hours
END

To use this function :

SELECT dbo.MinutesToDuration(23)

Results: 23m

SELECT dbo.MinutesToDuration(120)

Results: 2h

SELECT dbo.MinutesToDuration(147)

Results: 2h27m

Hope this helps!
