Convert Minutes to Hours
To convert minutes to hours in Google Sheets, you can use a straightforward division operation. Here's how:
- Type the minutes you want to convert into a cell, say B2.
- In another cell, use the formula '=B2/60'. This formula divides the number of minutes by 60 to convert it to hours.
For example, if you have 150 minutes in cell B2, the formula '=B2/60' will return 2.5 hours.
Convert Minutes to Hours & Minutes
If you need to convert minutes into a format that shows both hours and minutes, follow these steps:
- Divide the minutes by 1440 (since there are 1440 minutes in a day) using the formula '=B2/1440' in cell C2.
- Format the result to display in hours and minutes. Select the cell with the formula, go to Format > Number > Custom number format, and type '[h]:mm' in the custom format field.
This method will convert the minutes into a format that shows hours and minutes, for example, '2:30' for 150 minutes.

Google Sheets Convert Time to Decimal
To convert time to decimal hours in Google Sheets, you can use a combination of the HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND functions. Here's the formula:

This formula breaks down the time into hours, minutes, and seconds, then converts minutes and seconds into their decimal hour equivalents.
Google Sheets Time Conversion
For general time conversion in Google Sheets, including timezone adjustments and converting seconds to minutes and hours, you can use built-in functions and simple calculations:
- To convert from one timezone to another, consider using a custom script that accounts for daylight saving changes. You can use the formula '=formatDate("October 29, 2016 "&A2&" GMT","PDT","hh:mm a")' as an example, replacing the parameters as needed.
- To change seconds to minutes and hours, divide the seconds by 86400 (the number of seconds in a day) and format the cell as 'Duration' under the Format > Number menu.
