Duration formatting

[jamar....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a simple formula that determines a time duration using 2 time formatted fields and returns a time duration. xs:time($time_off) - xs:time($time_on) eg returns PT1H49M30S. We want to be able to display the duration in a more user friendly output such as 1 hour, 49 mins, 30 sec. Currently I'm was looking at using the substring function to target the time tokens of the duration but I wondered if anyone knew of another way.

Cheers

Hi Jamian,

You can use the component extraction functions on durations (see 1st link
below), for instance the following would return 49.

minutes-from-duration(xs:dayTimeDuration('PT1H49M30S'))

I hope this helps,

‑Alex
