This tutorial will demonstrate how to add minutes to a time in Excel and Google Sheets.
Add Minutes
In Excel, time is stored as a fractional value where each 1/24th represents one hour of the day. So each 1/1440 represents one minute of the day (24 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 1440 minutes).
|
1 |
=B3/1440 |
To add a minute add 1/1440 to a time
|
1 |
=B3+(1/1440) |
or 59/1440 to add 59 minutes:
|
1 |
=B3+(59/1440) |
Add Minute to Now
To add a minute to the current time, add 1/1440 to the NOW Function:
|
1 |
=NOW()+(1/1440) |
Add Minutes Google Sheets
