How to convert HH:MM:SS to seconds using DAX ?

I want to convert HH:MM:SS format of time into seconds.

 

Whenever I change it using format and use SECONDS it only gets the seconds of that time not the whole duration in seconds.

 

Thanks for answering! Really appreaciate it!

@Anonymous  Does this work for you

 

Column = MINUTE(Table[date time])*60+SECOND(Table[date time])

 

 In case you also have hours in your datetime field please extract the hour and multiple by 3600

 

You can also try DATEDIFF function and use second as third argument

Hi Vimal, thanks for answering, however its still showing only seconds of the time that i wanted to convert.

 

Ex.

00:28:53 - im only getting the 53 seconds whenever i use the dax formala that you've given.

instead of 53 seconds only, I wanted also to convert the 28min into seconds as well. So in total, I wanted a result of 1733sec.

 

Is there any easiest way to convert this one aside from manually compute it ?
