Hi Jyothi

Just so everybody who reads this question knows it is possible to solve.

The solution to this is, you set up the format as hh:mm:ss. You cant find it in the list, but manually typing it in will work.

Before you us this, you need to divide your measure with a fraction of a day. So Seconds is 86400 (60*60*24), minutes is 1440 (60*24) and hours is 24.
