Time Display Format

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble with converting seconds to hh:mm:ss format in a text display.

I'm calculating the seconds based on the difference between two time stamps.

anyhelp will be great!

Try this:

 

Text(RoundDown(DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds)/3600,0),"00")&":"&
Text(If(RoundDown(DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds)/60,0)>59,0,RoundDown(DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds)/60,0)),"00")&":"&
Text(Mod(DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds),60),"00")

show us the code you are using

Did you use the DateDiff?

Text(DateDiff(StartTime1,EndTime1,Seconds),"hh:mm:ss")

 

I'm using this to calculate seconds

(RoundDown((CurrentTime - InitialTime) * 24 * 60 * 60, 0))

Also The hh:mm:ss format doesn't work. I want to see the result like this.
Eg: we have320 seconds the result should be 00h:05m:20s

CurrentTime & InitialTime are integer values or datetime?

are date time values using functions now()

Hi @drallam2

Do not use

 

(RoundDown((CurrentTime - InitialTime) * 24 * 60 * 60, 0))

  Use DateDiff to get seconds difference

 

DateDiff(InitialTime,CurrentTime,Seconds)

 

To get it to a format 00h:05m:20s you will have to be little more creative

 

Text(DateAdd(CurrentTime, DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds), Seconds),"hh") & "h:"
& Text(DateAdd(CurrentTime, DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds), Seconds),"mm") & "m:"
& Text(DateAdd(CurrentTime, DateDiff(CurrentTime,InitialTime,Seconds), Seconds),"ss") & "s"

Unfortunately. I'm not getting the same result. Example for a 2 second elapsed time. For some reason the time shows 9h:59m:58s

Display CurrentTime and InitialTime in a labels and see what you get. Are the times correct? If not how do you set the currentTime and InitialTime
