Time Date Translation

Hello

Time & date translation, I just don't get it. Every time I need it it just don't work. Every time I play with it, it just don't work.

I need to translate a date and time variable in the same format as the returned value of Date and Time of a bar

My function return
41050.46238 with equal to 21-05-2012 11:05:50

I need to translate that value so I can use it in the Text_New function

T Any help appreciated

Martin please post the function code that returns this value.

Good day Henry
I'm always lost when it come to date & time conversion. Even if I had done it before.
I will put some time tonight to fully understand it one for all.

I think it may have been myself who asked. See posts 6 and 10 (actually 10 I think).

I will study it

I think that the date and time calcs in MC EL are far too hard. PCs sell well now because they made it much easier. This is no different. Here is a link to dump all your date and time tricks to make it easy the way it should be. I put the left side and right side of screen tricks in there along with a few other tricks. Eventually the Wiki should point here.
