SECOND Formula Syntax

=SECOND("3:45:30 PM")

Example Use Case

Extracting the seconds component from a time value

Understanding the SECOND Formula

The SECOND function in Excel extracts the seconds component (0-59) from a time value. It's a time component tool for isolation—like breaking down times into their smallest parts or analyzing precise timing.

SECOND("3:45:30 PM") returns 30, extracting just the seconds. It takes a single time argument (as serial number or text), delivering just the seconds portion—useful for detailed time analysis or calculations requiring second-level precision.

Why Use SECOND?

SECOND isolates time segments—think performance timing or scientific measurements. Its focused extraction enables second-based analysis or calculations, helping you work with the finest time increments in your data.
