I would suggest that in the CR you summarize your seconds before you display them with the above formula. &nbsp;This way you are able to acheive both results in multiple areas. &nbsp;

I would suggest that in the CR you summarize your seconds before you display them with the above formula.  This way you are able to acheive both results in multiple areas.  

<div>
If you need to convert seconds to a proper time field (as opposed to a string field as described above), all you need is:<br />
<br />
time({YourSeconds}/24/60/6<wbr />0)
</div>


If you need to convert seconds to a proper time field (as opposed to a string field as described above), all you need is:

time({YourSeconds}/24/60/60)

I agree that will work, just with the caveat that when the number of seconds are &gt;= 86400, then you will not see the elapsed correct time.<br />

What i need to achive :<br />
<br />
There is a value that is stored in the database ( call_req.time_spent_sum) this has a value in seconds<br />
<br />
<br />
I need this value to be given as hours:mintues:seconds<br />
so if call_req.time_spent_sum = 4830<br />
i need to get 1:20:30<br />
this is got by <br />
3600 + 1200 +30 <br />
<br />
now after getting this value <br />
<br />
i also have to get the sum of the amount of hr:min:sec spent on solving a particular problem in that day . <br />
<br />
there are a few functions i have come across <br />
<br />
such as<br />
hour <br />
minutes<br />
second<br />
CTime<br />
Time <br />
<br />
Ive tried these but I am unsuccessful in getting the solution. <br />
<br />
Please advice<br />
ASAP .<br />

Convert a second value into hours mintues and seconds

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
