I have to convert utc time to ist time in my excel the the time format is 10:00:00 utc this has to converted in IST timing.
Please suggested
There are no inbuilt functions that identify/convert the timezones. We can extend the capabilities of Excel Time() function to solve this use case.
=A1+Time(5,30,0)
For IST, you will have to add 5 hours and 30 minutes. Similarly, you can convert to any timezone by adding/subtracting the time difference.
The three inputs given to the Time() are hours,minutes and seconds.
This function returns the timestamp in a serial number format. Excel will interpret this number and show the timestamp in a readable format.

I was trying to convert a timezone from CST to UTC inside a data flow. A quick google gave me that CST is in UTC-6:00, so it should add 6 hours.
The following derived column function for some reason only added 5 hours:
toUTC(localDatetime, 'CST')
Moreover, CurrentUTC('CST') Gave me the correct 6 hours difference, so I had to rewrite this function like this:
LocalDatetime + hours(toInteger((currentUTC('CST') - currentUTC()) / 1000 / 60 / 60))
// Minus between timestamps gives difference in milliseconds
Is this intended behavior? I am worried that when the timezone "shifts" this code will break, so using toUTC would be the best solution, but for some reason it gives incorrect results now
toUTC() converts a datetime to UTC time zone based on the Daylight-Saving Time effectiveness.
When you are converting from CST to UCT, if your date falls when Daylight saving is effective, then it adds +5 to your date else adds +6 to your date.
Example:
Derived column expression: toUTC(toTimestamp(Date_UTC), 'CST')
I am desperately trying to change a Date Time stamp from UTC to Seoul. I tried to follow the following discussion Excel - How to convert UTC date time but this seems to deal with addressing the T and +03:00 which I have no idea about. My excel sheet has a simple '5/21/2016 5:39:35 AM' which is in UTC. How can I change it to Seoul time? Thanks a million for any help!
During my scripting in Vugen (Web/HTTP-HTML), I have captured the time in date format (Thu 31 Oct 2019 10:08:29) in parameter file using date-time format (%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S). The value I have to pass in the Body section of web_custom_request, it accepts only milliseconds (1572516509000). How we can convert this date format to milliseconds in LR.
Can anyone suggest to me here?
Thanks,
Soumen
Help to understand the use case. Do you need to have the time in milliseconds at the time of submission? At some time in the past for a given date and time? At some point in the future for a given date and time?
The reason why I ask is that there are built in functions for generating a UNIX styled timestamp for the current time. You could potentially plus or minus some number of milliseconds off of this for dates in the past or future depending upon the nature of the request: 86,400,000 milliseconds in a day
Can any one provide an Excel equation that will compute the difference between two UTC timestamps.
The UTC time stamps have the format yyyymmddhhmmssZ (e.g 20160127175049Z). The difference between time stamps is at most few hours so, I will like the answer to be in minutes or hours.
Appreciate any guidance. Thanks
To change the time stamps into a date/time that excel can use, use this formula:
=DATE(LEFT(A1,4),MID(A1,5,2),MID(A1,7,2)) + TIME(MID(A1,9,2),MID(A1,11,2),MID(A1,13,2))
Then format it with a custom format of your desire.
Then it is just a matter of subtracting one from the other.
Then formatting it like [hh]:mm:ss
I've got a date string from my database which has this format:
Tue Nov 12 2013 18:14:46 GMT+0100 (CET)
I want to convert it into a ISOString and im currently doing that with:
var iso = new Date(val.text_date).toISOString();
However for some reason the output time is moved 1 hour backwards?
This is the output im getting:
2013-11-12T17:14:46.000Z
How can i avoid this?
Short answer: the time is converted into UTC, and your original time was displayed in UTC+1, hence the one hour difference.
The Date.toISOString() method converts the date into a string in the ISO 8601 format. Note that the returned date in your example ends by a Z: 2013-11-12T17:14:46.000Z. As per the Mozilla documentation and Wikipedia:
If the time is in UTC, add a Z directly after the time without a
space. Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset
