Hi airtablers


I’m trying to create a business schedule table.

There are ‘start time’ and ‘duration’(a lookup value from a different base) fields, and I try to formulate the ‘end time’ field by aggregating the first 2.


For some reason the below formula gives the start time unchanged.


DATEADD({Start time},Duration,'seconds')


I tried to change the seconds to minutes and hours with same result. {Duration} also didn’t change.


The formatting option “Use the same time zone (GMT) for all collaborators”, is disabled in both date fields.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks

I was able to see the same problem as you. I suspect the problem has to do with the lookup.


My workaround was to force the {duration} into a number by adding zero to it.


DATEADD({Start time}, {Duration} + 0, 'second')


In my test, only {Duration} is a lookup; {Start time} is a regular date/time field.

Thank you so much 🙂
