Hello, I am working on a spreadsheet with over 140,000 rows that has a column of numbers that range from 1 to 6 digits. I need to extract the first number from the right, second and third numbers from the right, and fourth to sixth numbers from the right. I have had issues due to the number I need to extract from can vary from 1 to 6 digits. The following is what I am trying to achieve:

Example Number String FormatOnly 4th to 6th numbers to right (minutes)Only 2nd and 3rd number from right (seconds)Only 1st number from right (1/10 seconds)
103308​
103​
30​
8​
10280​
10​
28​
0​
8423​
8​
42​
3​
534​
0​
53​
4​
12​
0​
1​
2​
6​
0​
0​
6​
Note: if I get a 1 to 9 in this column it needs to = 1, otherwise stays as a 0.
I then need to convert these numbers to total seconds. I need to multiple a number in the 4th to 6th digit by 60, then add seconds in 2nd and 3rd digit, and add a 1 or 0 from the first digit. The following is an example for the top example of 103308: (103*60)+(30)+(1) = 6,211 seconds.

Thank you for your help.
