Hello-

I have a field which totals the number of hours worked; and for example returns a figure of 41.75

What is the best way to represent this number as 42 hours and 15 minutes?

Thanks
Venkat

Um.... so you want to get an extra hour for free ? :-)

I'll assume you want 41 hours and 45 mins.

SQL> with raw_data as
  2   ( select 41.75 x from dual )
  3  select
  4    trunc(x) hrs,
  5    mod(x,1)*60 mins
  6  from raw_data;

       HRS       MINS
---------- ----------
        41         45
