Hi Ramartin1 - what data types would you like to start and end with? If it's just string to string, you can do this with a formula tool like [Duration] + ":00"

 

Or is there nuance I'm missing?

Thank you Alison!

 

That worked now I have to change that duration time 188:00:00 Data type (V_String) into seconds with DateTimeDiff([Duration],"00:00:00", "Seconds") the formula works up 24:00:00 but large numbers like the one I shared provides a [Null]. Any solution will be appreciated. 

 

Thank you,

I have assumed that the format is hours:minutes:seconds and you want to find this duration purely in seconds - apologies if this isn't the case! However, if so then I believe the following should work. If the format is different I'm happy to provide an alternative! Workbook attached.
