How to convert number of minutes to hh:mm format in TSQL?

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)'

declare @TimeFormat  nvarchar(20),@minutes BIGINT
SET @minutes=125

SET @TimeFormat = 
    CASE WHEN @minutes >= 60 THEN (SELECT 
        CASE WHEN CAST((@minutes / 60) AS VARCHAR(2))<10 THEN '0' + CAST((@minutes / 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) ELSE CAST((@minutes / 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) END 
        + ':' +  
        CASE WHEN (@minutes % 60) > 0 
             THEN CASE WHEN  CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2))<10 THEN '0'+CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) ELSE CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) END
             ELSE '00'
        END)
    ELSE CASE WHEN  CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2))<10 THEN '00:0'+CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) ELSE '00:'+CAST((@minutes % 60) AS VARCHAR(2)) END
    END

    select @TimeFormat

If you want a notation of XX days YY hours and ZZ min, just try:

SELECT
    CAST(f.TimeAmount / 1440 AS VARCHAR(8)) + 'd ' +
    CAST((f.TimeAmount % 1440) / 60 AS VARCHAR(8)) + 'h ' +
    FORMAT(f.TimeAmount % 60, 'D2') + 'min' AS [TIME_TEXT]
FROM
    MyTable f

This seems to work for me:

SELECT FORMAT(@mins / 60 * 100 + @mins % 60, '#:0#')

For those who need convert minutes to time with more than 24h format:

DECLARE @minutes int = 7830
SELECT CAST(@minutes / 60 AS VARCHAR(8)) + ':' + FORMAT(@minutes % 60, 'D2') AS [Time]

Result:

130:30

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<10,concat('0',cast((@minutes % 60) as varchar(2))),cast((@minutes % 60) as varchar(2)))
return iif(@h <10, concat('0', cast(@h as varchar(5)),':',@mins)
        ,concat(cast(@h as varchar(5)),':',@mins))

end

DECLARE @Duration int

SET @Duration= 12540 /* for example big hour amount in minutes -> 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 : */

Thanks to A Ghazal, just what I needed. Here's a slightly cleaned up version of his(her) answer:

create FUNCTION [dbo].[fnMinutesToDuration]
(
    @minutes int 
)
RETURNS nvarchar(30)

-- Based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17733616/how-to-convert-number-of-minutes-to-hhmm-format-in-tsql

AS

BEGIN

return rtrim(isnull(cast(nullif((@minutes / 60)
                                , 0
                               ) as varchar
                        ) + 'h '
                    ,''
                   )
            + isnull(CAST(nullif((@minutes % 60)
                                 ,0
                                ) AS VARCHAR(2)
                         ) + 'm'
                     ,''
                    )
            )

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!

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.

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

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 */
