In Excel, the Second function returns the second of a time value (from 0 to 59).

The syntax for the Second function is:

Second( serial_number )

serial_number is the time value to extract the second from. It may be expressed as a string value, a decimal number, or the result of a formula.

Let's take a look at an example:

Based on the spreadsheet above, the function would return the following values:

=Second(A1) would return 35
=Second(A2) would return 0
=Second("4:00:03 AM") would return 3
=Second("4:30:24 AM") would return 24
