Creating a table for Minutes and Seconds - Looping

Hey, not sure if it's easier in DAX or M to do this but looking to create a list of Minutes and Seconds in the below format:

 

SecondMinute
10
20
30
40
50
11
21
31
41
51
12
22
32
42
52

 

 

Except I want the seconds to run from 1-60 instead of 1-5 and Minutes to run all the way to 90 minutes.

 

Is there a quick way to do this rather than appending lots of queries together or (gasp) doing it in Excel then copying over?

 

Thanks,

Rob

V quickly found a solution...

 

Created a DAX table with GENERATESERIES with the StartValue being any time - TIME(12,00,00) and the EndValue being 1.5 hours after this (to get my 90 mins) and with th increment value being 1 second (TIME(00,00,01)

 

Then Created a calculated column to get me the minutes, where I chose DATEDIFF from the minimum of the time column (created from the above calc table) and the time column to get me 0-90 mins. Then simply created a "SECOND" column to get me the Seconds from the Time column
