    Posted: 09 Jan 2010 at 8:48am
Hi All,
 
I know there is a dateadd syntax in crystal ,but is there also a syntax for 'time'add?
 
I have the following field:datetimevalue
 
What kind of syntax do i need to add 20 minutes extra for the time?
 
example:(datetimevalue field)
 
01/01/2010  13:55:00 --> 01/01/2010  14:15:00
 
and what kind of syntax for only a time-field? (without date)
 
 
regards,
Memoli

create a formula:

dateadd('n', +20, datetimevalue field)
 
Drop the formula in your report, then right-click the field=>Format Field=>Date and Time (tab) and choose a time only display Style from the list.
 
Hope that works for ya.

Hi FrnhtGLI ,
 
the formula is working.
 
thank you so much, especially the field formatting for a datetime field.
 
i created many formulas to show some details,like month /date .
 
Never took a look in the field which was a datetimevalue.
 
regards,
Memoli

Hi,
 
I have a date and time field and i want to use selection expert and filter records using Current date minus 15 minutes. The date filed on my Table is live and gets updated from the system date on every transaction.

{databasefield} >=dateadd('m',-15,currentdate) and {databasefield}<=currentdate

Hi,
 
This worked good. Just made a few changes.
 
{DlyTrn.trndte}>= dateadd('n',-15,CurrentDateTime) and
{DlyTrn.trndte}<= CurrentDateTime
 
Thanks for the help.
