MINUTE

Applies to: Calculated column Calculated table Measure Visual calculation

Returns the minute as a number from 0 to 59, given a date and time value.

Syntax

MINUTE(<datetime>)  

Parameters

Term Definition
datetime A datetime value or text in an accepted time format, such as 16:48:00 or 4:48 PM.

Return value

An integer number from 0 to 59.

Remarks

  • In contrast to Microsoft Excel, which stores dates and times in a serial numeric format, DAX uses a datetime data type for dates and times. You can provide the datetime value to the MINUTE function by referencing a column that stores dates and times, by using a date/time function, or by using an expression that returns a date and time.

  • When the datetime argument is a text representation of the date and time, the function uses the locale and date/time settings of the client computer to understand the text value in order to perform the conversion. Most locales use the colon (:) as the time separator and any input text using colons as time separators will parse correctly. Verify your locale settings to understand your results.

Example 1

The following example returns the minute from the value stored in the TransactionTime column of the Orders table.

= MINUTE(Orders[TransactionTime])  

Example 2

The following example returns 45, which is the number of minutes in the time 1:45 PM.

= MINUTE("March 23, 2008 1:45 PM")
