Power bi convert hours to minutes
In this example, I have a SharePoint Online List details name as Budgets. This SharePoint Online Budget list has below columns as:
- Customer Name (By default it is a Title column)
- BUD_AMOUNT (Currency Data type)
- Budget Month (Number Data type)
- Budget Year (Single line of Text Data type)
- BUD_PROCESS_TIME (Single line of Text Data type)
You can see the Budgets list in the below screenshot. Here in this list, the BUD_PROCESS_TIME (Single line of text) column is appearing in the below format:
2:10:00 AM where 2 represents as Hours, 10 represents as Minutes and 00 represents as Seconds as shown in the below screenshot.

When you will create a report in the Power BI Desktop and add this BUD_PROCESS_TIME column in the Table visualization, then you can see only in the time format as shown below screenshot.
As per my example, I want to view this time in the minute format. Follow this below process to convert it as a Minute format.

In the Power BI Desktop page, Go to the Modeling tab and click on the New Column under the Calculations section as like the below screenshot.

Once you will click on New Column, then a formula bar will appear where you have to apply the below formula to get the time in the minute format.
Time Column = HOUR(Budgets[BUD_PROCESS_TIME])*60+MINUTE(Budgets[BUD_PROCESS_TIME])
Here, Budgets is the Data table name and BUD_PROCESS_TIME is the list column where the value represents as 2:10:00 AM.
Also, you can follow the below screenshot to add the Minute formula in the formula bar.

When you applied the above formula in the formula bar, then a new column (Time Column) will be added to the Budgets table. You can see that new column (Time Column) as shown below.

When you will add this new column (Time Column) to the Table visualization Value, then that column values will appear as a Minute value instead of the Hours.
In the below screenshot, you can see the new column (Time Column) with the Minute values.
