Hi  
When I am using the Active Duration from an alarm journal query reports, the format is in days not hours, is it possible to format this within the report ?  
the tag in question is active Duration from the alarm journal Query.

You don't mention it in your post, but it appears that you are trying to generate a report of an alarm journal. Is that correct? If so, you might edit the post to explain and add the `reporting` tag while you are at it.

I've never used alarm journals so I may not be much use in providiing a solution.
