Format number of minutes into a Duration of HH:MM?



I have a column that produces a fractional number of minutes, e.g.


71.5



I would like another column to format that into a Duration of the form HH:MM, rounding up minutes, i.e.


1:12



Or


1h 12m

Please try:


=roundup(A1,0)/1440



and format:


[h]:mm





ah, where 1440 is the number of minutes in a day. So this converts to days and then formats. Nice!

Thanks, I tried this and it works...although why roundup? I just used round and it seems to round up/down correctly. For bonus points, how would I format it as 2h 3m?

Your question said "rounding up minutes" not rounding minutes. Now granted that had a .5 on it, but it was hard to know what you meant. That is why I gave both ROUND and CEILING based answers. I'm thinking about the bonus (though my method already does that, I cannot argue that this one is not more elegant -- it uses more of the spreadsheet's built-in power and less math).

[h] " h "m" m" will give the bonus, remove the spaces before h and m if you wish.

OK I think I have it the way I want now, thanks everyone.

=round(divide(A1-mod (A1,60),60)) & " h " & round(mod (A1,60)) & " m"



would do it with rounding 11.5 minutes up but 11.25 down. I will think about what if even that should say 12.



EDIT: There is a subtle case the above misses on. IT says 179.5 is 2 hours and 60 minutes.



Better is



=round(divide(round(A1)-mod (round(A1),60),60)) & " h " & (mod (round(A1),60)) & " m"


=round(divide(round(A1)-mod (round(A1),60),60)) & " h " & (mod (round(A1),60)) & " m"



The first round should not be needed, but I want no floating point madness.



If you really want 71.25 to say 1 hr 12 minutes, go with



=round(divide(ceiling(A1)-mod (ceiling(A1),60),60)) & " h " & (mod (CEILING(A1),60)) & " m"


=round(divide(ceiling(A1)-mod (ceiling(A1),60),60)) & " h " & (mod (CEILING(A1),60)) & " m"

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
