// This function converts 24 hour time to 12 hour time (without seconds) in FileMaker Time and TimeStamp fields for use in text fields and variables. // Example: A text field with autoenter calculation of '"The current time is " & fmtime' would display "The current time is 5:08:50 PM" or "The current time is 17:08:50". If the autoenter calculation was '"The current time is " & Twelve Hour Time Conversion ( fmtime )', the result would be "The current time is 5:08 PM" Let ( [ hr = Case ( Hour ( fmtime ) = 0 ; 12 ; fmtime < Time ( 13 ; 0 ; 0 ) ; Hour ( fmtime ) ; Hour ( fmtime ) - 12 ) ; // Sets 12 for midnight hour, 1-12 for PM hours ampm = If ( fmtime < Time ( 12 ; 0 ; 0 ) ; "AM" ; "PM" ) ; // Sets AM or PM mn = SerialIncrement ( "00" ; Minute ( fmtime ) ) ; // Sets minutes in double digit format result = If ( fmtime ; hr & ":" & mn & " " & ampm ; "" ) // Sets result in proper hour:minute [AM/PM] format, or blank if parameter is empty ] ; result ) Click to copy

This function displays 24 hour time as 12 hour time without seconds in FileMaker Time and TimeStamp fields for use in text fields and variables.

Example: A text field containing a calculation of
"The current time is " & Get ( CurrentTime )
would display "The current time is 5:08:50 PM" or "The current time is 17:08:50".

If the calculation was
"The current time is " & TwelveHourTimeConversion ( Get ( CurrentTime ) )
the result would be "The current time is 5:08 PM"

If the parameter was empty, the function result would be blank.
