**Example**

In this example, we will pass the required parameter to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*ticks* = 9749240000000

In the output window, you can see that the Integer value indicating *Ticks* has been converted into a TimeSpan value, present in the *timespan* value.
