MINUTEReturns the minute component of a specific time, in numeric format.
Sample Usage
MINUTE(TIME(11,40,59))
MINUTE(A2)
MINUTE(40909.0004)
MINUTE(“20:49:59”)
Syntax
MINUTE(time)
time – The time from which to calculate the minute component. Must be a reference to a cell containing a date/time, a function returning a date/time type, or a number.
Notes
Ensure that the input to the function is either a reference to a cell containing a date/time, a function which returns a date/time object such as TIME, or a date serial number of the type returned by the N function. Google Sheets represents dates and times as numbers; while conversion is automatic when a human-readable date is entered into a cell, functions only accept literal dates in numeric format.
MINUTE does not autoconvert number formats in the same way that Google Sheets does upon direct entry into cells. Therefore, MINUTE(12:00:00) will return an error.
MINUTE returns the intuitive understanding of minutes, and is useful primarily in other calculations rather than to extract the minute component of a known time, as that value is easily known from a plain reading of the entire time.
Note that date objects that are created with the DATE function or by entry of a date without a time component will have a time of 0:00:00.
