How to convert decimal to time?

eg: 7.6 (7+0.6*60) = 7:36

Answer 1

[per isakson]

datestr takes days as input. Thus, divide by 24.

>> val = 7.6;
>> datestr( val/24, 'HH:MM' )
ans =
07:36

I guessed that seven is hours, not minutes.

How do I do it if I want 7:36 PM?

Answer 2

[Peter Perkins]

This depends on what you mean by "time". Likely, the most useful thing is a duration:

>> t = hours(7.6)
t = 
  duration
   7.6 hr
>> t.Format = 'hh:mm:ss'
t = 
  duration
   07:36:00
