Syntax

SECOND(serial_number)

Serial_number   is the date-time code used by Microsoft Excel for date and time calculations. You can give serial_number as text, such as "16:48:23" or "4:48:47 PM", instead of as a number. The text is automatically converted to a serial number. For more information about serial_number, see NOW.

Remarks

Microsoft Excel for Windows and Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh use different date systems as their default. For more information, see NOW.

Examples

SECOND("4:48:18 PM") equals 18

SECOND(4.02) equals 48
