If your date is an actual date (meaning a number and not a string) and your hours are numbers too then date + hours/24 will result in a datetime (aka timestamp). If not you can try timestamp#(date & ' ' & hour, 'DD/MM/YYYY hh'). Change 'DD/MM/YYYY hh' to whatever matches the date format of your date.

vDate:  41080

vHour: 18

vDateTime: =$(vDate)+$(vTime)/24

vDate: '25/03/2013'

vHour: 18

vDateTime: =timestamp#(vDate & ' ' & vHour,'DD/MM/YYYY hh')
