SECOND function

PRO BASIC

The SECOND function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a handy tool that allows you to extract the seconds from a given time value. It's very simple to use; you just input a time value and the function will output the seconds from that value. It's especially useful when you need to perform calculations or comparisons based on seconds for time management or data analysis.

Documentation

Returns the seconds of a time value.

Syntax

SECOND(serial_number)

Parameter	Description
`serial_number`	The serial number of the date-time value from which to extract the second.

Behavior

The SECOND function is designed to extract the second component from a given time. It is usually used in conjunction with other date and time functions. Here's how it handles different types of data:

Empty cells: If the SECOND function is applied to an empty cell, it will return an error because it expects a time value.
Text: If the function is applied to a cell containing text, it will return an error. The function only works with time values.
Booleans: Boolean values are treated as numbers: TRUE is interpreted as 1, and FALSE is interpreted as 0.
Errors: If the referenced cell contains an error, the SECOND function will also return an error.
Numbers: If a cell contains a number, the SECOND function interprets it as a time value where 1 represents one full day (24 hours). The function then extracts the seconds from the corresponding time.
Dates: The SECOND function will return the second component of the time part of the date. If the date does not have a time part, the function will return 0.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs when the input argument is not a valid time.
#REF!	This error occurs when the referenced cell is invalid. For example, if the cell has been deleted.

Best practices

Always ensure that the input to the SECOND function is a valid time. If you're unsure, you can use the 'ISTIME' function to check.

Keep in mind that the SECOND function only returns the second component of a time. If you need to work with minutes or hours, use the 'MINUTE' or 'HOUR' function respectively.

Be aware that the SECOND function interprets numbers as serial numbers, where 1 represents 24 hours. This might lead to unexpected results if you're not familiar with this behavior.

Remember that the SECOND function does not work with text or boolean values. If you're working with these types of data, you might need to convert them to a valid time first.

Usage

A few examples using the SECOND function.

SECOND("12:30:45 PM") returns 45  
SECOND("7/4/2022 8:15:30 AM") returns 30  
SECOND("9:00:00 PM") returns 0
