Split date and time from a time field.

Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:44:00 GMT

Hi, I have found the need to split date and time from a timestamp field.

This is how the field looks like in the source:

I have managed to split out the date by the use of date() - function

date(floor(create_time),'DD.MM.YYYY') as Dato1

The tricky part looks to be to just get out the whole hours from the create_time field.

What I have tried so far without any success.

frac(round(create_time,(1/24))) as [Incoming Time],

time(frac(create_time),'hh') as [Incomming Time], Time#(Right(create_time,8),'hh') as [Incoming Time],

Time(Frac(TimeStamp#(create_time,'DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss')),'hh') as [Incoming Time],

date(floor(create_time),'hh') as [Incoming Time],

Does anyone have any idea on how to achieve a "timestamp" with just the whole hour?

In my case, i just want 24 unique values from 00 - 23. From all the 21 million rows in the create_time field.

By using frac(round(create_time,(1/24))) as [Incoming Time],

I got this result, but the end result should be without Date and mm:ss just the hh left.

may be something like below .... not 100% sure

=Time(create_time,'hh:00:00')

You can use Dual function to split the date and time

=Dual( Date( Floor( Date ), 'YYYY-MM-DD') & ' _time ' Time( Frac( Timestamp#( Created, 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss')), 'hh:mm:ss') as Incoming Time

Hope it helps

You were almost there, I think with

frac(round(create_time,(1/24)))

Now just rearrange and format that - I think like this:

Time(Round(Frac(create_time), 1/24), 'hh')

Or even this:

Round(Frac(create_time) * 24), 1)

Yes, this also worked. Just added the missing (

Round((Frac(create_time) * 24), 1) as [Incoming Time],

Thanks worked like a charm
