Convert seconds column into duration column hh:mm:ss.ss (needs hundredths of a second in output)
I am trying to convert a column that contains a time in seconds into a duration that includes hundreds of a second
eg
Convert 242.5 secs into 00:04:02.05

Hi Kenny_McMillan,
Try out this formula please.
Column 2 = VAR hours = ROUNDDOWN ( [Column1] / 3600, 0 ) VAR minutes = ROUNDDOWN ( MOD ( [Column1], 3600 ) / 60, 0 ) VAR seconds = INT ( MOD ( [Column1], 60 ) ) VAR milliseconds = round(MOD ( [Column1], 1 ) * 100,0) RETURN FORMAT(hours,"00") & ":" & FORMAT(minutes, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(seconds, "00") & "." & FORMAT(milliseconds, "00")Best Regards,
Dale

Hi Kenny_McMillan,
Seems there isn't a built-in support of such format. Please vote up this idea here. The workaround could be as below.
Column 2 = VAR hours = ROUNDDOWN ( [Column1] / 3600, 0 ) VAR minutes = ROUNDDOWN ( MOD ( [Column1], 3600 ) / 60, 0 ) VAR seconds = INT ( MOD ( [Column1], 60 ) ) VAR milliseconds = ROUND ( MOD ( [Column1], 1 ) * 100, 0 ) RETURN hours & ":" & minutes & ":" & seconds & "." & millisecondsBest Regards,
Dale
Thank you dale
Thanks Dale for the help,
How would you force each number to be of two digits length ? 4 minutes 2.17 secs would be 00:04:02.17
