SECOND formula syntax.
The SECOND syntax in Excel is a function that allows you to extract the seconds from a given time value. It takes one argument, which is the time value from which you want to extract the seconds. The syntax for the SECOND function is: =SECOND(time) Here, "time" is the time value from which you want to extract the seconds. It can be entered as a cell reference containing a time value, or directly as a time value enclosed in quotation marks. The SECOND function returns the seconds as a number between 0 and 59. If the time value is not recognized as a valid time, the function will return an error. Example usage: =SECOND(A1) In this example, the function will extract the seconds from the time value in cell A1.
