I am making an app for myself in app inventor which calculates time. There are two buttons (start, stop) and a label to display the time.

Now my problem is that I get the resultant time which is (stop time - start time) in milliseconds but I want it in MM:SS format. I tried certain clock buttons like get instant from milliseconds and time format too, but still failed to resolve the issue.
