Hi All,I have a chart that contains how long it took to perform a certain task for each user (user name is on the X axis, times on the Y axis). The problem is that the data is displayed in seconds. I wish to format the data label on the bars so they show 00:45:42 (in hh:mm:ss format) instead of 2742 seconds, for example.I have not found a way to do this. Is there a way at all?Thanks for the help. Daniel

I have CR XI, not sure if this is supported in earlier versions.  You can create a formula, and use the formula in the graph.  For example: 
Numbervar Totalsec := Sum ({@Login Hrs secs}, );
NumberVar Days :=(Truncate (TotalSec / 86400)*24);
NumberVar Hours :=(Truncate (Remainder (TotalSec,86400) / 3600))+ Days;
NumberVar Minutes :=Truncate (Remainder (TotalSec,3600) / 60);
NumberVar Seconds :=Remainder (TotalSec,60);
Hours & ":" & Minutes & ":" & Seconds
The addition of *24 in the NumberVar Days sum combined with the addition of days to the NumberVar hours gives a total time in hours no matter whether in excess of 24 hours or not.
Use this formula in your chart. instead of your seconds field.
