Converting minutes to hours and minutes format (HH:MM)

To convert minutes to hours and minutes (HH:MM) in Excel, you can use a simple formula. Multiply the number of minutes by (24*60) which is the total number of minutes in a day. This will return a number with decimals, where the integer part represents hours, and the decimal part represents minutes. You can then apply the [h]:mm format in the custom formatting option to convert this number to the hours and minutes format.
