Name

Minute Function

Class

Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime

Syntax

Minute(TimeValue)
TimeValue (required; date)

Date variable or literal date

Return Value

An Integer between 0 and 59, representing the minute of the hour

Description

Extracts the minute component from a given date/time expression

Rules at a Glance

  • If TimeValue is not a valid date/time expression, the function generates runtime error 13, “Type mismatch.” To prevent this, use the IsDate function to check the argument before calling the Minute function.

  • If TimeValue contains Nothing, 0 is returned, so be careful here to check for Nothing.

  • You can also use the DatePart function.
