How to format field values of a varying field name?

Hey Guys,

I have events with duration (seconds), then I chart the sum of duration per week. So now, the field names are the week numbers and the values are the duration. Formatting to[h%:m%:s%] converts my duration to string that is why I can't format the duration before charting.

How can I format the duration now to [h%:m%:s%] when my field names (week number) are changing every week?

| bin _time span=1w | convert timeformat=("%V") ctime(_time) 
| chart sum(DURATION) as duration over DESCRIPTION by _time useother=f 
| addtotals 
| sort Total desc limit=10

Thank you!
