How to convert a time in milli seconds to minutes in JMeter

Question

I am capturing elapsed time in simple variable in Jmeter and the value is saved in milliseconds, but I need to convert that value into minutes? Is there any way to do this in JMeter?

Answer 1

Instead, you could probably just use some simple math: Convert Milliseconds To Hours, Minutes, And Seconds

Answer 2

Given your variable name is elapsed you can convert milliseconds to minutes by dividing its value by 1000 (convert from ms to seconds) followed by dividing by 60 (convert seconds to minutes) via i.e. __jexl3() function which allows executing arbitrary JEXL expressions like:

${__jexl3(${elapsed} / 1000 / 60,elapsed)}

The above function will convert the value from ${elapsed} variable to minutes and write it back into ${elapsed} variable.
