Question

I have a select query that has DURATION column to calculate number of Minutes   I want to convert those minutes to hh mm format   Duration has values like 60  120 150  For example   60 becomes     01 00 hours  120 becomes    02 00 hours  150 becomes  02 30 hours   Also  this is how I retrieve DURATION  Minutes   DATEDIFF minute  FirstDate LastDate  as  Duration  Minutes

I would do the following  copy-paste the whole stuff below into immediate window   query window and execute   DECLARE  foo int DECLARE  unclefoo smalldatetime SET  foo   DATEDIFF minute  CAST  2013 01 01 00 00 00  AS datetime  CAST  2013 01 01 00 03 59  AS datetime   -- AS  Duration  Minutes    SET  unclefoo   DATEADD minute   foo   2000 01 01    SELECT CAST  unclefoo AS time     foo stores the value you generate in your question  The  trick  comes by then  we create a smalldatetime variable  in my case it s yyyy mm dd format  and increment it with your int value  then display  or store if you want  the time part only

In case someone is interested in getting results as  60 becomes 01 00 hours  120 becomes 02 00 hours  150 becomes 02 30 hours  this function might help       create FUNCTION  dbo   MinutesToHHMM         minutes int    RETURNS varchar 30  AS  BEGIN declare  h int         set  h   minutes   60         declare  mins varchar 2          set  mins  iif  minutes 60 lt 10 concat  0  cast   minutes   60  as varchar 2    cast   minutes   60  as varchar 2    return iif  h  lt 10  concat  0   cast  h as varchar 5        mins           concat cast  h as varchar 5        mins    end

I m not sure these are the best options but they ll definitely get the job done   declare  durations table       Duration int    Insert into  durations Duration  values 60   80   90   150   180   1000   --Option 1 - Manually concatenate the values together select right  0    convert varchar Duration   60  2          right  0    convert varchar Duration   60  2  from  Durations  --Option 2 - Make use of the time variable available since SQL Server 2008 select left convert time DATEADD minute Duration 0   5  from  durations  GO

DECLARE  Duration int  SET  Duration  12540    for example big hour amount in minutes - gt  209h     SELECT CAST  CAST   Duration  AS int    60 AS varchar           right  0    CAST CAST   Duration  AS int    60 AS varchar 2   2      you will get hours and minutes divided by

You can convert the duration to a date and then format it   DECLARE      FirstDate datetime       LastDate datetime  SELECT      FirstDate    2000-01-01 09 00 00        LastDate    2000-01-01 11 30 00   SELECT CONVERT varchar 12           DATEADD minute  DATEDIFF minute   FirstDate   LastDate   0   114       Results  02 30 00 000      For less precision  modify the size of the varchar    SELECT CONVERT varchar 5           DATEADD minute  DATEDIFF minute   FirstDate   LastDate   0   114       Results  02 30
