How to export time without "hours" or "mins" spelled out

Mike Shkolnik (980●9●161●143) | asked Mar 11 '13, 6:10 p.m.
If I do a CSV export with any of the estimate or time columns, I get "XX Hours" in a text field in excel. What I really want is just the number so I can do math. Yes, I can highlight the column and do a replace of " hours" with nothing, followed by a replace of " hour" with nothing (for 1 hour tasks), but that becomes more problematic when I have "8 hours 30 minutes". Then after the first two replaces I have to replace " 30 mins" with ".5". With multiple denominations of minutes in use, it gets even more complicated and the margin of error goes up. Would be nice if I could just export the number. Is that possible?

Hello Mike,
use internal value - and not default label - to CSV export your durations - like the estimate.

In the CSV file, you'll get duration in ms - but you will be able to do the math in the CSV file.
sample entry:
Task    "65"    "New"    "Unassigned"    "Normal"    "Define a new build"    "Eric JODET"    "Eric JODET"    "5400000"

Hope it helps.
Eric.

Thanks, that works. Though I would love to see an option to output in hours (including fractions thereof) instead of milliseconds. Adding a column to multiply everything by 2.77777777777778E-07 is a tad kludgey.

Hello Mike,
glad it worked.
Unfortunately - internal value is stored in ms.
So you have to do the conversion in the CSV file.

Thanks.
Eric.

Is there a way to do something similar in the Web application?
