    Seconds = VAR DurationString = SUBSTITUTE(Durations1[Duration], ":", "|")
VAR Days = PATHITEM(DurationString,1)
VAR Hours = PATHITEM(DurationString,2)
VAR Minutes = PATHITEM(DurationString,3)
VAR Seconds = PATHITEM(DurationString,4)
RETURN Days * 86400 + Hours * 3600 + Minutes * 60 + Seconds

Wow, it is really tricky to use PATHITEM to get the substrings. Awesome work :smileylol:.
