Converting a field of hours, minutes and seconds to just minutes rounded up

[DLM]

Hello!

I've Mac OS 10.6.8 with FM 5.5v1 (yes, I know I need to upgrade but bare with me on this one):

I have a field named "Duration" that indicates time duration in hours, minutes and seconds, example:

0:32:11

That means 0 hours, 32 minutes and 11 seconds.

I want to create a calculation field where such data is converted into minutes rounded up, examples:

0:32:11 would be converted to 33

0:56:05 would be converted to 57

1:28:19 would be converted to 89

How should the calculation be?

Best!

Try =

60 * Hour ( Duration ) + Minute ( Duration ) + not not Seconds ( Duration )

This is assuming that Duration is a Time field. The result of this calculation should be Number.

IT WORKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll post another tough one in a bit... :-)

Hi Lee, OK, I got it on the not double-post point.
