hours, minutes, seconds, or milliseconds.

To define a duration format for selected cells:

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table inspector button, and then click Format.

Use the Units control to select the units you want to display for a duration value.

By default, hours, minutes, and seconds (h, m, and s) are displayed.
To choose a single unit, drag the left or right end of the slider toward the center until
it can get no shorter. Then click in the center of the slider and drag it over the unit you
want to use.
To choose more than one unit, resize and drag the slider until it’s over the units you
want to use.
