When recording a Metric→ or otherwise reporting a period of elapsed time, the Duration→ type may need to be converted. The durationAs function enables these conversions.

set %Length% PT15M

# 900000 ms
set %Milliseconds% as durationAs ms %Length%

# 900 seconds
set %Seconds% as durationAs s %Length%

# 15 minutes
set %Minutes% as durationAs m %Length%

# 0.25 hours
set %Hours% as durationAs h %Length%

You should not use this function to do comparisons. Instead use the type correct durationComp→ function.
