#Error Involving Time Conversion
Hello,
I am trying to convert an integer, for example 63148, which is the amount of seconds from midnight, into a time format such as '5:36PM'.
I've tried using combinations of changing the box properties to Time, using a mix of conversion functions, but I still end up with an #Err in my field. I tried looking this up and couldn't find a specific use case solution for what I'm trying to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi mcquerry-dillon ,
In the case of CDate expression, she can only convert a string of date type to a date, so if she converts the integer directly, an error will be reported.
Below is my table:
I create Hrs , Mins , Time column
The following expression might work for you:
Time =Fields!Hrs.Value & Format(Fields!Hrs.Value ,":") & Format(Fields!Mins.Value) Mins = Fields!NewColumn0.Value\60 - Fields!Hrs.Value*60 Hrs = Fields!NewColumn0.Value\3600 Time1 = CDate(Fields!Time.Value)The final output is shown in the following figure:

The op_time field value is an integer as mentioned earlier in seconds
