Formatting Time

Sammy
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

I have a time database that people enter times every day into. It's tedious (I need a barcode solution, it's coming), so it would be nice if instead of formatting time, one could just enter 0600 and FMP would know that you're referring to 6:00am, or 1300 --> 1:00pm, etc. etc.

Is there any way to do this by calculation, or am I stuck trying to find a plugin?

Use a text field for your input. Limit it to 4 characters. Then use the time function to calculate the time. Time(Left(Input,2), Right (input,2), 0).

Or,

Time(Left(input, 2), Middle(input, 3, 2), 00) and then besure you format your time field to show the AM PM as you indicated in your post.
