Duration With Just days

I know that if you use duration it gives the days but it also gives the hours, minutes, etc. I want just the days. The numbers to be converted are in mini seconds.

Hello

If you are getting durations like this:

"1+06:29:32"

You can use rex after getting the duration to extract the day. Like:

...| rex field="yourdurationfield" "(?<durationdays>^\d+)\+" | ...

But, for durations of less than one day you won't get any value. You will need to use fillnull after the rex command.

Regards
