Date/Time strings are used as arguments in Date/Time Formula Functions, and can also be returned as the result from Date and Time Formula Functions.

Examples

'03/27/2009 10:15 am'
'20.04.2009 10:45 pm'
'2009-20-04 20:30'

Date/Time strings are composed of these elements:

Element Syntax Description
year yyyy A text string depicting the year (1900 - 9999)
month mm A text string depicting the month (1-12, beginning with January)
day dd A text string depicting the day of the month (1-31, depending on the number of days in the month)
hour hh A text string depicting the hour in the format (0-12 for a 12-hour clock, or 0-24 for a 24-hour clock)
minute mm A text string depicting the minute in the format (0-59)
part of day am
pm
A text string depicting am/pm for a 12-hour clock.
For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock
Note:
In Form fields, the string is determined by the user's locale. For example, "vorm." and "nachm." in Germany. But in Formula Fields, the value must be either "am" or "pm".
