So if I have a cell with say 43,238 minutes, I would like to convert
into Hours and Minutes.

thanks
 
Hi,
Suppose your data is in cell A1. Now type this formula in cell A2

=A1/60

Then select cell A2 and change the format of this cell to 'Time'.

HTH,
 
divide by (60*24) and format Custom as [hh]:mm

Hi

Format the result cell, Format>Cells>Number>Custom>[h]:mm
Use the formula =A1/1440

Excel stores times as fractions of a day, so divide by 60 then by 24 hence
divide by 1440
 
And have you checked the answer which that formula gives you, Pranav?
Either 15:12 or 17295:12 (depending on formatting) seem unlikely answers.
Perhaps a further division by 24 may be worth trying? :-)
