Oh, right - I misunderstood what you were trying to do ☹

Converting a float representing setting duration to a custom time display is not possible at the moment, but is a reasonable enhancement request. Would you mind filing an issue in Github, if it's important to you? [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
