i am using timechart like this

search | timechart span=10m avg(diff)

but the diff number is in seconds I would like the answer in minutes like this

search | timechart span=10m avg(diff)/60

this doesn't work

Anyone have a suggestion??

Before creating your timechart, use an eval function to format your variable the way you would like. So try something like:

search | eval diff_in_min=(diff/60) | timechart span=10m avg(diff_in_min)

A simpler way may be to use eval() (as function):
search | timechart span=10m eval(avg(diff)/60) as diff_in_min
