In addition to the previous comments, it might be useful to create an external expression rule that will take the time value and return the number of seconds, which could be used elsewhere and also debugged without needing to edit the process report multiple times. Note that when calling an expression rule from the process report definition field, the system seems to dislike when the rule contains functions that use dictionary syntax, so keep that in mind while designing if you take this approach.
