convert string to integer

hi,
i have a simple question but i cant figure it out.
i want my result to be in grand summary it.
but it didnt summarize. i think it sees my result as string and not an integer.

my code is
Code:
format(time_to_sec(SUM(CASE WHEN key_entry_log.time_end > '16:00'
        THEN key_entry_log.adjustment_time ELSE 0 END))/3600,2) as 'ot hours'
ive tried to search on different forums and also in mysql manual but it seems i cannot find the answer.

please advice,

thanks

you're trying to convert the sum of times to seconds

try summing the conversion of each time to seconds instead
