Working with time DURATION, not time of day

Question

I\'m doing some benchmarking, and I want to use Excel to produce graphs of the results. I\'ve got a simple but annoying problem which is baking my noodle.

Answer 1

Use format d "days" h:mm:ss or [h]:mm:ss, depending on your needs.

Say you have a duration of 30h 12m 54s:

• h:mm:ss -> 6:12:54 (not correct for a duration)
• [h]:mm:ss -> 30:12:54
• d "days" h:mm:ss -> 1 days 6:12:54

Variations are possible: I like something like d"d" h"h" mm"m" ss"s" which formats as 1d 6h 12m 54s.
