Adding up Minutes and Seconds

I am looking to make a TV show format. I need to add times together. And I need to have a column with total running time. I can't seem to format cells in Numbers to work like they do in Excel. I want to add :30 seconds plus 2:40 plus :52 seconds, etc. I want to start the show at say, 11:00 am and have the items times add up along the way.
Is this possible in Numbers?

How can i use minutes and seconds in my job interval

Sir,
I want to use minutes and seconds in my job interval.
suppose i want to run my job on 1:15:10 AM what will be the syntax. my code is below.
Declare
jobno number;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(jobno,'DEL_DEPT;',trunc(SYSDATE + 1) + (1/24),'trunc(SYSDATE + 1) + (1/24)');
END;
Thanks in advance.

Declare
jobno number;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(jobno,'DEL_DEPT;','trunc(SYSDATE + 1) + 4510/86400','trunc(SYSDATE + 1) + 4510/86400');
END;
number of hours in a day = 24
number of minutes in a day = (24 * 60) = 1440
number of seconds in a day = (24 * 60 * 60) = 86400
4510 is the number of seconds in 1 hour 15 minutes and 10 seconds.

How can I make a row of cells containing 3-digit decimals, who's values resulted from calculations within the spreadsheet, appear as durations of minutes and seconds?

Row 6 in this spreadsheet is the result of Row 2/Row 3 as evidenced by the formula listed while Cell Y6 selected. How can I make the values in this row appear as durations of minutes and seconds rather than 3-digit decimals? For example, rather than appearing as 9.84 I would like the value of Cell Y6 to appear as 9:50 or 9min 50sec. (obviously .84x60seconds 50 seconds). I tried changing the cell formats from "number" to "duration," but no change is made. Using the "duration" format does however work if I am manually entering the decimal value into the cell rather than allowing it to result from another caluclation within the spreadsheet. Is there a solution to this within Numbers '09? You can see why I would want the "pace" displayed in minutes and seconds. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ryan,
You wrote:
"The problem is that my "Distance" is a row of automatically generated values resulting from ((Row1/60)*Row 6). Changing the format of Row 1 to minutes causes row two to be expressed as a duration, which obviously it shouldn't because it is a distance. The spreadsheet has to be designed so that all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace). The rest of the cells must be automatically poulated as a result of formulas."
I'm assuming that where you say "Row 1" in this you mean "Row 2", which is labeled "Time" in the example in the OP.
In the original post, you presented a formula from cell Y6. Replacing the Header labels in that formula's cell reference with the Addresses of the referenced cells, the formula was:
Y6: =Y2/Y3
In this post, you are saying that Y6 contains entered data: "...all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace).
Which is correct?

Field with time in minutes and seconds

Dear community,
first of all, I am using Apex 3.1 on Oracle 10g, if this is necessary to know (yes I know, an old version, but given by the company I'm working for). After I've developed a few applications in Apex, thank to the forum and all the answers inside, I came to a problem that I could not solve:
I want to have a normal text field, where the user can enter a duration of an event (e.g. "3:45" or "2:30"). That duration will allways be in the format "MM:SS". No hours, no milliseconds... But how can I save the given values in the database, so in which format? A varchar would be a possibility, but I want to build a report later on, where there is a sum of the times. And how to get a sum of varchar?! But how to make it clear to Apex and Oracle DB that the users gives in a time and not a varchar? The only thing oracle offers is a date field, but I want to save a time and not a date!
Does anybody has a clue for me, cause it seems to me, that possibly I just don't know what I'm searching for, cause people must have had this problem before!?
THanks for your help!
Regards
hoge

But how to make it clear to Apex and Oracle DB that the users gives in a time and not a varchar? The only thing oracle offers is a date field, but I want to save a time and not a date!All APEX items are character strings, so implicit or explicit conversion is required when the values are stored in database columns. For the recommended <tt>INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND</tt> columns, use <tt>TO_DSINTERVAL</tt> to perform the conversion.
Use <tt>EXTRACT</tt> to get the minute and second values from the <tt>INTERVAL</tt> going in the other direction.
but I want to build a report later on, where there is a sum of the times.A user-defined aggregate function can be created to sum <tt>INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND</tt> values: here's an example.
APEX's lack of built-in support for summaries on <tt>INTERVAL</tt> types can be worked round by including the sum in the report query using a </tt>UNION</tt>:

How do I log the time in hours, minutes and seconds to a table

Hi
I'm a relatively new user of Labview. I am currently writing a program that logs the temperature of an oven and the current time to a table and graph. I am using a GPIB card to communicate with the oven. I have used the Get Date/Time string to get the time and the Decimal String to Number to convert the time to a number which I have then put into an array which goes to a table and graph. My problem at the moment is that the time is being logged in hours only. I need to log the time in hours, minutes and seconds. Can you tell me how I can do this?

Hi,
I can see the setup now. The decimal string to number will only ever give the hours, since the ':' character is not part of a number, so won't translate. Use the code I attached previously to get the time as a timestamp, and then go from there.
I've made some modifications, although you'll need to alter the file save to take into account the double precision number
for the timestamp is now 3E+9 (since it's seconds since 1904!!), but since you're writing to a comma separated values (or tab deliminated) style file, this shouldn't be a problem. You could always do a textual save from the table instead.

Execution time in minutes and seconds

In the UUT Report, the Execution Time displays in seconds. How can I get that to display in minutes and seconds.

I'm just now getting to this, and I've decided to address this in the reportgen_html.seq. In the step labelled "Add Execution Time", the expression reads,
Locals.Header += "<TR><TD NOWRAP='NOWRAP'><B><LI>" + ResStr("MODEL", "RPT_HEADER_EXEC_TIME") + "</B><TD><B>" + (PropertyExists("Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.TotalTime") ? Str(Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.TotalTime, Parameters.ReportOptions.NumericFormat , 1, True) + ResStr("MODEL", "RPT_HEADER_SECONDS") : ResStr("MODEL", "RPT_NOT_APPLICABLE")) + "</B>\n"
I found the RPT_HEADER_SECONDS constant and changed it to _MINUTES and changed the string. I divided the Parameters.MainSequenceResults.TS.TotalTime by 60, and this all seems to work. The only thing that's not working is that I'm updating the Parameters.ReportOptions.NumericFormat, and no matter what I do it keeps showing me 13 decimal points.
The Parameters.ReportOptions.NumericFormat is set to %$.13f (but I've tried several variations).
I just want it to display something like 21.63 minutes. Also, what is the $ doing in that expression

Regarding function module to convert hours to minutes and seconds to minute

hi all,
is there any function module to convert hours to minutes and seconds to minutes....if so please guided me....i hav req like this...want to convert all those to minutes[seconds and hours]....

Hi,
Use FM
SD_CALC_DURATION_FROM_DATETIME
Pass paramters like
I_DATE1 16.09.2008
I_TIME1 10:33:00
I_DATE2 16.09.2008
I_TIME2 19:00:00
and you will get the result as below..
E_TDIFF 8:27
8 hours and 27 minutes...
Now u can use this values of hours and minutes to get the exact wage type values... get the details from HR module and multiply it with the hours and minute and calculate it...
Use Offsets and get the hour and minute value from E_TDIFF
Hope it will solve your problem..
Thanks & Regards,

Can't calculate time in Appleworks - minutes and seconds

I can calculate hours and minutes, but not minutes and seconds. I've tried using leading zeros and colons, and leaving them out. The number format is set correctly (13:59:01), but I cannot get a calculation. Very frustrating.
Have tried all the obvious things I can think of.
Anyone have an idea?

Got it. Must use single leading zero, not double. I hate spreadsheets.

Formula for Distance/Velocity Returned in Hours, Minutes, and Seconds

I want to find the formula to calculate elapsed time in hours, minutes, and seconds when you are given the velocity and distance.

Distance(Miles)
MPH
Duration(h, min, s)
60,0
20,30
0
100,0
20,80
For an unknown reason the formula do not work for me.
Cells A2, B2, A3, and B3 are numbers.
In cell C2 I use formula : =DURATION(0,0,A2/B2)
Thanks

I need help to convert hours,minutes and seconds to seconds.

Hi, I need help with the code on how to convert the hours,minutes and seconds to seconds. I don't know which formula to use so that I can get the results in total number of seconds. Thanks.

Jos ("when in doubt: parenthesize correctly")Bracist.You're more right than you'd known: last week I climbed over a safety
fence (which I wasn't supposed to do of course) to adjust the position
of an optical measurement device we installed in a huge production
machine in a factory. I stepped on some sort of hose; the end of that
hose broke loose and hit me straight in the middle of my lower jaw. My
front teeth feel wiggly now and my molars on the left of my lower jaw are
not what they used to be. This Wednesday I get that all fixed at some
dental clinic. Keep your fingers crossed because me+dentists == war.
My tongue continuously keeps on reporting craters and disaster ;-)
Jos, how's it going? Besides a possible loss of some teeth, I'm fine ;-)
My Spring/Hibernate journey continues. I'm trying out Hibernate 3.2
annotations and the Ant tools. So far, so good.Good to hear. At the moment I'm putting my teeth (sic) in that darn snmp
stuff which simply refuses to work the way I want it and besides that I'm
heavily involved in some of that SAP stuff. Spring is not in the vicinity for
me in the next couple of months sadly enough.
kind regards,
Jos

GPS coordinates with minutes and seconds always 0

I noticed the geotagged photos from my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.3.1 Jelly Bean) have GPS coordinates always rounded to integers in Aperture. However when viewing the photo coordinates on the phone directly before importing in Aperture, or using a non-Apple tool (such as ExifTool), precise coordinates with minutes and seconds are displayed. After some research, I conclude this is an Apple bug. It affects iPhoto and Preview.app too (probably due to same underlying code reading Exif tags).
Did you experience the same bug? What phone and firmware were used to take the picture?
For the technical record, here's the bug (which I've notified to Apple). Internally (in the binary format of Exif tags), coordinates are represented by 3 values for degrees, minutes and seconds. Each of these values is represented by a rational number encoded with 2 integers (numerator and denominator). Most cameras will set an integer in the degrees values, and fractional part in the minutes and/or seconds. This format is properly decoded by Aperture. It is however valid format to set minutes and seconds values to 0, and a non-integer value in degrees, such as 70,764,776 / 10,000,000 = 7.0764776 deg. This format is not correctly parsed by Aperture.

Yosemite has fixed the issue. Coordinates are now correctly displayed.

SharePoint DateTime Control "Hour, Minute, and Second parameters describe an un-representable DateTime"

I am facing a strange behavior from SharePoint:DateTime control.
I have a webpart containing couple of fields along with datetime control. If I leave this page inactive for a while and then click submit, an exception is thrown stating that "Hour, Minute, and Second parameters describe an un-representable DateTime".

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got datetime control error.
The problem may be lied in the Time component. You can disable the time component and go for a date only rendering of the control by setting
DateTimeField.DateOnly = true.

what’s more, you can the ULS log to see the details errors.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

Minutes and seconds form field

I need to format a field in a way that a user will enter 2 numbers separated by a comma (f.e. "20.02"), and the value will be stored as minutes and seconds (MM:SS), then I will need this value to be used in various time calculations.

Hi les2worry,
This kind of data I use quite a lot in a couple of run and walking applications. Depending on the wanted accuracy it can be in expressed in minutes, in seconds or in milliseconds. At input users don't need to give any punctuation character, but just the
digits.
So with the second-accuracy:
Input 2002 yields: 20:02
Input 1232002 yields: 123:20:02, with no 24-hrs barrier.
For each accuracy I use two functions: Str_to_sec and Sec_to_str.
After input the inputted string is parsed over the hrs/min/sec positions, and eventually converted to seconds (handy for calculations) in the function Str_to_sec, and with Sec_to_str converted to the wished format, in my case e.g. 20:02. I usually
store the formatted result, because the display possibility is far more frequently used than the value for calculation. Using Str_to_sec of the formatted value gives the number of seconds.

Shift time by minutes and seconds

please allow shift time by minutes and seconds, not only by whole hours. It
is needed for synchronizing more than 1 camera after the shot was made.

Man that is just soooooo non-untuitive and not at all documented. It really should be made more clear both in the documentation and the interface. I wasted a ton of time because I would have *never* guessed (actually I half did, but I said, "naw" to myself).
Also, it's not actually quite correct because as far as I can tell when it claim to be making "timezone" adjustments, it's actually making time adjustments (no "zone" info it touched). Cameras like the Nikon D80 actually support timezone information (as does the XMP format used) separate from the time stored. As far as I can tell from looking at the XMP files, it always sets the timezone as the curious GMT minus 4 (Atlantic Time???).
What it really ought to do is normalize the timezone to a single user chosen zone, or allow you to actually change the timezone and have the time adjusted accordingly (and not have it subject to current timezone like it is).
Anyway, from what I've read, the whole time thing is just messed in Lightroom. Still, had I gone with my guess, I would have saved a bunch of time figuring out "exiftool"...
Now I know at least. Thanks.
