SECOND

Name

Second

Description

Returns the seconds (0 to 59) value for a specified time value.

Syntax

SECOND(time)

Remarks

Specify the time argument as a serial value or time value. To provide a serial value from a time value, use the NOW or TIME function. The seconds are returned as an integer, ranging from 0 to 59.

Spread's calc engine processes dates as a numeric value in the form x.y, where x is the "number of days since December 30, 1899" and y is the fraction of day. Numbers to the left represent the date, which is the value that the DATE function returns. Use the TIME function to return the serial value for the time value (the fraction of a day).

The time serial value is a decimal fraction ranging from 0 to 0.99999999, representing the times from 0:00:00 (12:00:00 A.M.) to 23:59:59 (11:59:59 P.M.).
