Extract time from date time field

I need to extract only the time from a date/time field. Either in the load script (ODBF to informix) to in the properties of the list box. I an trying to group time ranges regardless of the date.

HI,

Try

time(yourdatefield) as Time,

That would work at the list level, but the list still sorts by date first even though only the time is diaplayed. I am trying to group and sort by time only regardless of the date. Probably need to get time extracted at the script level ??

In the Script Load, you can try to create a new time field:

LOAD

   Time(YourDateField) as YourTimeField

Time() is a formatting function, hence it doesn't change the underlaying number but the format only. To get the time part only use Frac(), like:

time(frac(yourdatefield)) as Time,

=TIME(FRAC(Timestamp#('17/07/2014 10:30:00','DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss')))

Replace '17/07/2014 10:30:00' with your Date/Time Field

Also, change the  DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss according to your timestamp format
