Accessing a variable outside conditions in python

I have conditions and need to define var in them and use that out of this conditions. This is my codes: 

if 1 < (process_time % 60):
    final_process_time = 'process time is: ' + str(process_time) + ' sec!'
elif 1 <= (process_time % 60) < 60:
    process_time = process_time / 60
    final_process_time = 'process time is: ' + str(process_time) + ' min!'
elif 60 <= (process_time % 60):
    process_time = process_time / 3600
    final_process_time = 'process time is: ' + str(process_time) + ' hour(s)!'
print(final_process_time)

I got this error:

local variable 'final_process_time' referenced before assignment

Hints: I tested these solutions, but none of them responded:

Way 1: 

set final_process_time to `global` # Error: name 'final_process_time' is not defined

Way 2:

Define final_process_time =''  Before conditions # Result: nothing set to this var

Attached : Some of you suggested that I put more of my code to fix the bug in this section. My entire codes:(of course, some absolutely unrelated items have not been added)

def excel_report(request):
    output = io.BytesIO()
    workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook(output)
    ....
    TITLES_LIST = [
            ['user', 'title', 'explains', 'organization', 'post', 'time_start', 'time_end'],
            ....
    ]
    FILE_NAME = 'report-' + datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M") + '.xlsx'
    # writer = pd.ExcelWriter(FILE_NAME, engine='xlswriter')

                worksheet.write(i, 5, resumes[k]['time_start'], time_style)
                worksheet.write(i, 6, resumes[k]['time_end'], time_style)
            process_time = time.time() - time_start_process
            if 1 < (process_time % 60):
                final_process_time = 'process time is: ' + str(process_time) + ' sec!'
            elif 1 <= (process_time % 60) < 60:
                process_time = process_time / 60
                final_process_time = 'process time is: ' + str(process_time) + ' min!'
            elif 60 <= (process_time % 60):
                process_time = process_time / 3600
                final_process_time = 'process time is: ' + str(process_time) + ' hour(s)!'
            worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet('process sheet')

            worksheet.write('A1', 'Process Time', title_styles)
            worksheet.write('A2', final_process_time, title_styles)
            workbook.close() 
            output.seek(0)
            response = HttpResponse(output,
                                content_type='application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet')
            response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' % FILE_NAME
            return response

Either set final_process_time to a meaningful value before the conditions, or add an else clause where you, again, set it to a meaningful value. Don't make it global, that has nothing to do with the problem.
