    Change time hh:mm to text hh hours and mm minutes

    Hello!
    I've changed my hours from a decimal into custom format hh:mm
    Is is possible to have it written out instead? Essentially to fill out like the last column example below?

    E.g
    Hours____Hours and minute__Text
    1.34_____01:20____________1 hour and 20 minutes
    1.23_____01:13____________?

    =TEXT(A1/24,"[>=0,041667]h"" hour and ""mm"" minute"",[>=0,000694]mm"" minute"",,")

    it could be because of regional settings , try this
    =TEXT(A1/24,"[>=0.041667]h"" hour and ""mm"" minute"",[>=0.000694]mm"" minute"",,")
