Hi @Saagar,

Yes, But i want to take 11 and output it as '11 Seconds' not just 11

Even if i use the datetimeformate(Seconds) function it will give me the output as 11 but I want it as '11 Seconds'

Hi @Saagar 

 

Use right() function to get last 2 digits refer below. After that add "seconds" string like right([Input],2)+" Seconds"

Using + to add 2 strings is a common method across multiple programming languages.

 

Hope this helps : )
