# Minute

> Use the Sigma Minute function to return an integer representing the minute component of a specified date and time.

The **Minute** function returns an integer representing the minute component of a specified date and time.

## Syntax

```
Minute(date, [timezone])
```

Function arguments:

* **date** (required) - the date or column containing date values from which the minute component is extracted
* **timezone** (optional) - the [IANA time zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) (e.g., `“America/Los_Angeles”`) to convert the date value to before extracting the minute component

When the **timezone** argument is omitted, the input date is evaluated in UTC time.

## Example

```
Minute(Date("2007-08-14 07:11:00"))
```

Extracts the minute component from the specified date and time and returns `11` to represent the eleventh minute of the hour.
