Time formula: how to add 4 hours to my appoint time column?

Benjo090

Hi,

I have a appointment time column and I would like to use a formula and add 4 hours to get the End time.

Is there an alternative way to do it like sort of formulas?

Kindly help, I need this to my report this week.

Assuming the column App Time is of type Text - Try this formula:

=IF(VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add> > 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add> - 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add>) + MID([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row), LEN([App Time]@row) - IF(LEN([App Time]@row) = 11, 4, 3)) + [Column6]@row

So in your case <hours you want to add> = 4 so the formula would look like this:

=IF(VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4 > 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4 - 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4) + MID([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row), LEN([App Time]@row) - IF(LEN([App Time]@row) = 11, 4, 3)) + [Column6]@row

I hope that helps.

What is the last line, [Column6]@row?

Apologies, that was a copy/paste error on my part. Here is the correct formula.

=IF(VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add> > 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add> - 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add>) + MID([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row), LEN([App Time]@row) - IF(LEN([App Time]@row) = 11, 4, 3)) + + IF(VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + <hours you want to add> >= 12, IF(RIGHT([App Time]@row, 2) = "PM", "AM", "PM"), RIGHT([App Time]@row, 2))

So in your case <hours you want to add> = 4 so the formula would look like this:

=IF(VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4 > 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4 - 12, VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4) + MID([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row), LEN([App Time]@row) - IF(LEN([App Time]@row) = 11, 4, 3)) + IF(VALUE(LEFT([App Time]@row, FIND(":", [App Time]@row) - 1)) + 4 >= 12, IF(RIGHT([App Time]@row, 2) = "PM", "AM", "PM"), RIGHT([App Time]@row, 2))

Cheers,
