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 Regards
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

Microsoft EmployeeHi 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
& "."
& milliseconds
Best Regards,

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

Thank you so much Dale this is great. I assume there is no way that this can be forced into a Duration format though ?
