MINUTE Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Extracting the minute component from a time value
Understanding the MINUTE Formula
The MINUTE function in Excel extracts the minute component (0-59) from a time value. It's a time component tool for isolation—like breaking down times into parts or analyzing minutes specifically.
MINUTE("3:45:30 PM") returns 45, extracting just the minutes. It takes a single time argument (as serial number or text), delivering just the minute portion—useful for time analysis or calculations involving minutes.
Why Use MINUTE?
MINUTE isolates time segments—think time tracking or duration calculations. Its focused extraction enables minute-based analysis or calculations, helping you work with specific minute values across your data.
Example with Sample Data
| Time | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 3:45:30 PM | =MINUTE("3:45:30 PM") | 45 |
| 9:05 AM | =MINUTE("9:05 AM") | 5 |
| NOW() | =MINUTE(NOW()) | [Current minute] |
MINUTE extracts just the minutes: 3:45:30 PM gives 45. It's a minute isolator.
