The CTime and Time functions are equivalent to TimeValue. However, Time can only be used in Crystal syntax since it is a type name in Basic syntax.
Returns a Time value that represents the time, given a String expression specifying a time from 0:00:00 (12:00:00 A.M.) to 23:59:59 (11:59:59 P.M.), inclusive. | |
TimeValue (number) returns a Time value given a number in units of 24 hours. The number can be negative or fractional as well.
TimeValue (string) returns a Time value that represents the time, given a String expression specifying a time from 0:00:00 (12:00:00 A.M.) to 23:59:59 (11:59:59 P.M.), inclusive.
TimeValue (dateTime) returns the time portion of a given DateTime value.
TimeValue (HH, MM, SS) returns a Time value given numeric arguments of the hour, minute and seconds.
The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:
TimeValue (.2) TimeValue (1.2)
Both return the same value 4:48:00 a.m.
TimeValue ("Jan. 6, 1999 2:30pm")
TimeValue (#Feb. 24, 1999 2:40pm#)
You can use the IsTime function to check if a string argument can be converted to a Time before doing the actual conversion. That way, if the conversion cannot be done, you can handle the situation appropriately. See alsoTimeSerial (hour, minute, second).
