The SECOND function in excel is a useful tool that allows users to extract the seconds from a given time value. This function can be used by entering the time value in the designated cell and then using the formula “=SECOND(A1)” where A1 is the cell containing the time value. This will return the seconds portion of the time value in a numerical format. This function is helpful for data analysis and time tracking purposes.
This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the SECOND function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
Returns the seconds of a time value. The second is given as an integer in the range 0 (zero) to 59.
Syntax
SECOND(serial_number)
The SECOND function syntax has the following arguments:
Serial_number Required. The time that contains the seconds you want to find. Times may be entered as text strings within quotation marks (for example, “6:45 PM”), as decimal numbers (for example, 0.78125, which represents 6:45 PM), or as results of other formulas or functions (for example, TIMEVALUE(“6:45 PM”)).
Remark
Time values are a portion of a date value and represented by a decimal number (for example, 12:00 PM is represented as 0.5 because it is half of a day).
