Convert 12 Hour Time to 24 Hour

Posted on by walking999 2

Hey Guys,

 

First of all, apologies if I’m re-posting an already answered question as it seems like an obvious question to ask but I couldn’t find an answer to.

 

In my PAD I have a %Time% variable which is populated by the time:

 

‘8:15 AM’

Or

’10:25 PM’


I simply want this variable converted to a 24hr Format - hh:mm

 

can someone please advise how this can be done? 

Many Thanks!

    You just need two actions; one to convert to datetime data type, and one to convert to your desired format. If you need a different format, you can construct one from the information found on this page: Convert DateTime to text - custom date formats | Microsoft Learn

    Hello,
     
    I needed to get the time part in 24hour format, so here's what I did:
     
     
     Next crop the text to get 'text' after 'T' which is the time in 24hour format:
     
     
     
     
     Thanks.
