Hi All,

 

I am trying to convert seconds from an integer format into HH:MM:SS. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Assuming less than 24 hours. I suggest a formula tool creating a Time column:

DateTimeAdd("1900-01-01",[seconds],"seconds")

 

To cope with more than that I suggest. Same formula producing a DateTime as a string. Then a second formula step getting days difference and adding to hours. 

PadLeft(ToString(
DateTimeDiff([Time],"1900-01-01","days")*24
+ ToNumber(Substring([Time],11,2))
), 2,"0") 
+ Substring([Time],13,8)

Or you can do:

 

PadLeft(ToString(Mod([Seconds]/3600,3600)),2,"0")+":"+

PadLeft(ToString(Mod([Seconds]/60,60)),2,"0")+":"+

PadLeft(ToString(Mod([Seconds],60)),2,"0")

Merge the two :)

PadLeft(ToString(Floor([Seconds]/3600)),2,"0") +
Right(DateTimeAdd("1900-01-01",[seconds],"seconds"),6)

Should work for all time periods.
