Adding hour to Time

BJSOON

Hi, I am trying to add an hour to Time In. :

 

Time InTime Out
14:37:2023:59:00
01:30:1119:00:50

 

Using the following formula I got this:

1+(tonumber(DateTimeFormat([Gate In],"%H"))
+tonumber(DateTimeFormat([Gate In],"%M"))/60
+tonumber(DateTimeFormat([Gate In],"%S"))/360)

 

New Time In

New Time In
15.6722222222222
2.53055555555556

 

The formula only works with String.  How do I convert this back to Time? Or is there a formula whereby I can simply add 1 hour to the Time In which is Time type.  Thank you.

Hi @BJSOON I mocked up a workflow that produces the output you describe you need to use a datetimeadd formula.

Thank you!  This works!  I always have trouble with the date/time formula...

I get a conversion error when I do this:

DATETIMEADD: "2000-01-01" is not a valid DateTime.

Is that normal? Is there a way to get rid of the conversion error?

Thanks
