Solved: Transform a Datetime in Time greater than 24 Hours - Qlik Community

Anonymous · ‎2016-05-09

It's possible to convert a Datetime for a Time format greater than 24 hours using Script ?

Ex.: 04/01/1900 05:02:08 -> 101:02

Thanks.

Hi,

one possible solution could be to format your datetime excel column as Interval when loading in QlikView:

The difference between the 101:02 respective 125:02 interpretation is due to a Leap year bug‌ in Excel that considers 1900 as leap year despite it is not.

Software not sharing this Excel "feature" (e.g. QlikView) presents a date with decimal value 4 as 03/01/1900:

table1:
LOAD Timestamp(Datetime, 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss') as Datetime,
    Num(Datetime) as decimal,
    Interval(Datetime) as Interval
FROM  (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

hope this helps

regards

Marco

Hi,

This formula give me 125 hours...

04/01/1900 05:02:08

It's a Excel Time...

4 Days + 05:02:08 Hours... = 101:02

Hi Sunny,

It's a Excel Time Format...

4 Days + 05:02 ...

sunny_talwar · ‎2016-05-09

Try this:

Table:

LOAD *,

(Day(Datetime) * 24 + Hour(Datetime)) & ':' & Minute(Datetime) as Time;

LOAD * Inline [

Datetime

04/01/1900 05:02:08

];

Slight update:

Table:

LOAD *,

(Day(Datetime) * 24 + Hour(Datetime)) & ':' & Num(Minute(Datetime), '00') as Time;

LOAD * Inline [

Datetime

04/01/1900 05:02:08

];

The correct is 101:02

And if i have a date like this:

01/01/1900 11:01:52

This function doesn't work...

It's a hard problem with format value in Excel...
