10. Calculations with dates and time
Numculator supports calculations with dates and time. Next operations are allowed:
Dates subtraction:
DATE1 - DATE2 = TIME_COUNT
Addition/Subtraction of date and
time-count:
DATE1 ± TIME_COUNT = DATE2
Addition/Subtraction of time-count:
TIME_COUNT1 ± TIME_COUNT2 = TIME_COUNT3
Date
Use the following rule to define a date constant in Numculator:
{yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss}
example: {2007-10-20 14:00:55}
where
yyyy - year(2007), mm - month(10), dd - day(20), hh - hour (14), nn - minute (00), ss - second (55)
Hour, minute and second are not required. If they are not existed their values assigned to zero.
i.e. {2007-10-20} equals to {2007-10-20 0:00:00}
If year, month and day are existed their values assigned to current date.
i.e. if current date is 2007-10-20, then {10:25:34} is the same as {2007-10-20 10:25:34}
Time-count
Count of time constant should be defined using the following rule:
[Kd][Lh][Mm][Ns]
examples:
Example
Means
5d10h5m20s
5 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes and 20 seconds
10d100s
10 days è 100 seconds
1d
1 day
10s
10 seconds
30h49m
30 hours è 49 minutes
where
K, L, M, N - numbers.
K - count of days
L - count of hours
M - count of minutes
N - count of seconds
Calculation examples:
| Expression | Result |
| {2008-1-1} - {2007-1-1} | 365d |
| {2008-1-1} + 5d | {2008-1-06 0:00:00} |
| {2001-4-15 10:47:00} - 120s | {2001-4-15 10:45:00} |
| 10d - 180m | 9d21h |
| 1m55s + 5s | 2m |
