How do I convert a duration into seconds?

I would like a formula for the "Seconds" column that automatically calculates this. 

Understand this is probably so basic, but would appreciate any help. Thank you!

Yeah, the solution is actually rather simple, yet strange!

Make a formula field with this:

{Duration} * 1

The duration data is already stored in seconds. Multiplying it by 1 will display the seconds! Let me know if this works for you.
