Hi,

Wonder if someone can help. I'm currently using Crystal Reports XI and want to split a number field into a time field.

The field format is 34512 (which is 3:45 and 12 seconds).

The solution must also take into accound if past 12 O'clock, the field reads- 133643 (which is 13:36 and 43 seconds)

With this in mind I need to be able to split the field from right to left. I am assuming I will create 3 new fields, and then populate a 'time' formula with the results. But is this the best way? and how? :)

Thanks
Paul
 
Try:

stringvar x := totext({table.number},"000000");
stringvar y := left(x,2)+":"+mid(x,3,2)+":"+right(x,2);
time(y)
