A datte with no hours and minutes is equal to a whole number like 37524 and one with 8 hours (8/24) equals 37524.333333333. To compare the two numbers you simply need to use the INT function to round the number to a whole number 37524 = Int(37524.333333333) "julief" wrote: I am trying to compare two lots of data. Once piece of data is coming from a database which is holding the date field in format dd mm yyyy hh:mm. The other piece of data is in standard ddmmyy format. I need to compare the two dates to make sure they are the same. The problem i am having is that because one piece of date holds time data also it is not showing as being the same date even though it actually is. Can anyone please give me a formula which strips out the time element and will then compare. I have tried to use the day() month() year () function but with no luck. |
