This formula only copies the current date/time field, but I want to remove the date part:

DATETIME_PARSE(Start, ‘HH:mm’)

getting close but not quite there.

I got the answer! = DATETIME_FORMAT(Start, ‘h:mm’)

I'm having trouble getting this formula to work. Can you help me out? I'm simply trying to pull the time only out of a Date & Time field. I've played around with various date format and am consistently getting an error message. See screenshots.

Hi @jmoore , you simply replace the apostrophes (‘) in ‘h:mm‘ with the correct quotation marks ( ' )
