Does anyone have any idea how to convert this ga:avgTimeOnPage in seconds?! I've tried to divide by 86400 (60*60*24), but it does not work. :(


Thanks!

I think this is a number formatting issue. The solution has been discussed in this group before, just do a search for "format":

HI, Philip. Thanks for answering, but I've already read that solutions. What happens here is that the spreadsheet is getting a 16 digit number with 5 dots (.). I'm getting desperate, because I haven't change nothing on the Configuration.

Hi There!

I Just read this thread to try to fix that, I was having the same problem, but... Indeed my fix was do what Philip said:

Change the format of the spreadsheet into US format. How? Check that:


Once you have changed the spreadsheet format to Locale: United States; then the add-on gives you a seconds format. 

Then you only need to make the formula. Imagine the Second value is in cell A1, so... In another cell you run "=A1(24*60*60)" hit enter, then go to cell format>duration

Voilá!
