  • 1.  Change seconds to minutes BOXI

    Posted May 23, 2016 05:09 PM

    Hi everyone,

     

    I'm working with CABI version 4.1, and we need to create a raporte with the following time_spent_sum field.

    I have obtained the field and showing me the total time of the ticket, but it shows me the time in seconds.

     

    what  function to change the seconds to minutes? and how create the function ?

    I am creating the report in Web Intelligence rich client.

     

    Regards,

    Marco Velazquez.

    Hello Marco,

     

    Giving you a general answer, as a general answer may be better than no answer.

     

    Try a web search on phrases like "business objects convert seconds to minutes" and a lot of stuff comes up.

     

    Also the "pdmSeconds" command should work in CABI. See this thread for an example:

    We want to display for total how much time ticket was open (only SLA time) in report

     

    and this one looks quite helpful (wait for the page to load - it will jump to the last comment in the thread):

    Thanks, Kyle_R.

    I solved the problem with the following query.

     

     

    = If ((IsNull ([Time Spent - Sum])) Or ([Time Spent - Sum] = 0)) Then ("00:00:00") Else FormatNumber (Floor ([Time Spent - Sum] / 3600) , "00") + ":" + FormatNumber (Floor (Mod ([Time Spent - Sum], 3600) / 60), "00") + ":" + FormatNumber (Mod (Mod ([Time Spent - Sum] ; 3600); 60), "00")

     

     

    modify the query in BOXI
