Converting HH:MM:SS to seconds

Hi all,   I am currently trying to convert values which have HH:MM:SS time values to the number of seconds.    I hope someone can point me into the right direction.   Best regards, LMeijdam

    Hi Anonymous -

    If the column has a Time datatype (preferable), you can do this:

    Seconds Since Midnight = [Time Datatype]*86400

    If it's text, you need to convert it to time first:

    Seconds Since Midnight = TIMEVALUE([Text Datatype])*86400

    Cheers!
