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

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.

Answer 1

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
