Returns the number of seconds explicitly specified if identifiable, or 0
if a second is not found.
Sample usage
SECOND("007:14:21")
returns 21
SECOND(TIMENOW() - "00:00:00")
returns seconds since the top of the minute; the current second of the minute. See also: TIMENOW()
Seconds in Duration
SECOND()
merely extracts the seconds component from a Duration
value; it does not compute the number of seconds the Duration
value represents in total. To compute the total seconds comprising a Duration
value, use TOTALSECONDS()
.
Common problems
SECOND(NOW())
(or any DateTime
or Time
value in place of NOW()
) causes Expression Assistant to complain, Parameter 1 of function SECOND is of the wrong type
. The argument must be a Duration
value, not a DateTime
or Time
value. To fix, convert a DateTime
value to a Time
value with TIME()
, then subtract a zero time to convert a Time
value to a Duration
value: SECOND(TIME(NOW()) - "00:00:00")
. See also: NOW()
, TIME()
Syntax
SECOND( duration
)
-
duration- ADurationvalue.
Notes
SECOND(...)
is equivalent to (NUMBER(INDEX(SPLIT(TEXT(...), ":"), 3)) + 0)
when ...
is a Time
value. See also: INDEX()
, NUMBER()
, SPLIT()
, TEXT()
