Urgent - Formula Query.

Hello All,
I wanted to convert Days,Hours into Minutes and populate the value in minutes field as a SUM value of all i.e. (Days(should be converted into minutes)+Hours(should be converted into minutes) +Minutes = Minutes).

Example:
I have a field Days which is populated from below formula: 
Text( FLOOR( Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c ) )

Now, I want to populate Minutes value which should be a SUM of Days(converted to mins)+Hours(converted to mins)+Minutes for which I have a formula as shown below:

Text(FLOOR((( Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c) *1440)*24)   //Days//
+
Text(ROUND(((Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c )*60),0))         //Hours//
+
Text(ROUND(((Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c )))))                 //Minutes//

When I try to execute the formula, I get an error as :
Error: Incorrect parameter type for operator '+'. Expected Number, Date, DateTime, received Text

Please assist me with the correct formula to display the value in minutes. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Heena,

Try below formula .Error is with the return type of the field you selected. As you selected the formula field return type as number and using the TEXT function whose return type is TEXT leads the output as TEXT. So Either change the formula field return type to TEXT else try below code. 
FLOOR((( Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c) *1440))   //Days//
+
ROUND(((Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c )*60),0)        //Hours//
+
ROUND(((Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c )))              //Minutes//

Let me know if you face any issues,

Thanks and regards,

One value was missing in the formulae, please find below the corrected formula 
FLOOR((( Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c) *1440))   
+
ROUND(((Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c )*60),0)    
+
ROUND((Date_Time_Gas_Off__c - Date_Time_Gas_Riser_Commissioned__c ), 0)
