Hi Erwin,

I am not sure what you mean by a “time format 8:00”.

What field type are you using ?

If you are using a DateTime field with Time enabled; then you can use the DATETIME_FORMAT(Mdate], ']specified output format]') function in a formula field to get the desired output.

Is that what you are looking for ?

Hi, thanks!

It’s a Duration field and Time has to be formatted in ‘0hmm’, without colon. For example:

8:00 -> 0800

4:15 -> 0415

6:02 -> 0602

etc

Hi again @Erwin_Van_den_Bogaer,

Ok I understand. In Airtable, Duration is not the “Time” part of a DateTime, it is really just a “Duration”.

To do what you are asking for, you have to set an intermediate field that will calculate the corresponding DateTime.

1. 
   

   Create a new Formula field formatted as DateTime
   
   DATEADD(TODAY(), Duration, 'seconds')
   
   This will create a “today” date with time = 00:00 then add the Duration to it

   
   


2. 
   

   Convert this DateTime to a String
   
   DATETIME_FORMAT(DateTime, "hhmm")

   
   

This result can actually be achieved using a one line formula :

DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD(TODAY(), Duration, 'seconds'), "hhmm")

Please tell me if this fit your needs.

If it does work on your side, please mark this reply as an answer
