Converts a text string to a time­date value, where possible.

Syntax

@TextToTime( string )

Parameters

string

Text. The string you want to convert to a time-date.

time-date

Time-date or time-date range. The string, converted to a time-date.

This function is useful for converting a date within a text field to a value that can be used for computation in a time­date field.

"Today", "Tomorrow", and "Yesterday" are the only legal strings to use to represent relative dates. The formula @TextToTime("Next week") returns a blank because the text string "Next week" cannot be converted to a time­date value.

@TextToTime returns an error If you try to pass anything besides a string into it, including a time-date value.
