Symptom
- How to convert seconds to days, minutes, and hours?
- How to take number of seconds, and it display it in days, minutes and hours in Crystal Reports?
Environment
- SAP Crystal Reports 2013
- SAP Crystal Reports 2016
- SAP Crystal Reports 2020
Resolution
- To display the the number of seconds in days, hours, minutes and seconds, create a formula:
- In Crystal Reports, create a report based on any data source that contains a fields returning a number of seconds.
- Create a formula to convert the number of seconds, and display it in days, hours, minutes and seconds:
Local NumberVar Seconds := <INSERT YOUR FIELD CONTAINING NUMBER OF SECONDS HERE>;
Local NumberVar Days;
Local NumberVar Hours;
Local NumberVar Minutes;Days := Truncate( Seconds / 86400,0 );
Seconds := Seconds - ( Days * 86400 );
Hours := Truncate( Seconds / 3600,0 );
Seconds := Seconds - ( Hours * 3600 );
Minutes := Truncate( Seconds / 60,0 );
Seconds := Seconds - ( Minutes * 60 );ToText(Days,0) + ' Day(s) ' + ToText(Time(Hours,Minutes,Seconds), "HH:mm:ss");
- Insert the formula on the report.
- Note:
The result can be displayed in different ways. Below is another formula example showing the duration in Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds, in the format: X Days, X Hours, X Minutes, X Seconds
Local NumberVar Seconds := <INSERT YOUR FIELD CONTAINING NUMBER OF SECONDS HERE>;
Local NumberVar Days;
Local NumberVar Hours;
Local NumberVar Minutes;Days := Truncate( Seconds / 86400,0 );
Seconds := Seconds - ( Days * 86400 );
Hours := Truncate( Seconds / 3600,0 );
Seconds := Seconds - ( Hours * 3600 );
Minutes := Truncate( Seconds / 60,0 );
Seconds := Seconds - ( Minutes * 60 );Local StringVar Output;
Output := If Days > 0 Then ToText(Days,0) + (If Days = 1 Then ' Day ' Else ' Days ');
Output := Output + (If Hours > 0 Then ToText(Hours,0) + (If Hours = 1 Then ' Hour ' Else ' Hours '));
Output := Output + (If Minutes > 0 Then ToText(Minutes,0) + (If Minutes = 1 Then ' Minute ' Else ' Minutes '));
Output := Output + (If Seconds > 0 Then ToText(Seconds,0) + (If Seconds = 1 Then ' Second ' Else ' Seconds '));
