Hi,
Is there a way to convert a text column to show as seconds. The column holds text values in the format of HH:MM.
E.g 64:56 should show as 233760 seconds. There will be values greater than 24 hours
Thanks
Yasir

Column 2 =
LEFT ( 'Table'[Column1], LEN ( 'Table'[Column1] ) - 3 ) * 3600
+ RIGHT ( 'Table'[Column1], 2 ) * 60
