Hi @radikasubramaniam57, there are two things you want to do when converting a timer to display in HH:MM:SS. First you want to convert seconds to minutes (and in your case, minutes to hours) and then work on another function to format the time. ![Screenshot 2024-08-07 at 11.24.05 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/d/0d0a689ed8f5d7f2e78f2457d136b074475a83b7.png) There are other ways to do this, of course, and this is a fairly commonly requested topic. Searching the Community will also be advantageous here. Here is a fairly good topic already discussing the same format. > [@Hours:Minutes:seconds countdown](https://community.thunkable.com/t/hoursseconds-countdown/1897445): > > Hello, to everyone i’m looking for a Hours:minutes:seconds countdown. i’m creating a fuel contdown. the user must insert who many LT of fuel are inside the tank and we know the hours comsume. in a label i need to see the hours:minutes:second countdown. i tried many time but without result, roll_eyes i see a topic for minutes:seconds countdown but i can’t undestand how insert correctly the hours. Thanks a Jared for his help in this! slightly_smiling_face --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-display-timer-in-hhss-format/3128139)._
