timestamp

To convert a given time-related value to a timestamp

With this function, you will convert a time-related value to a UTC-based timestamp. If you use a value without time, time is automatically set to 00:00 (+ your respective time zone).

If the value is a number, it represents the Unix time in milliseconds.

Examples

Your result format may be different depending on your settings.

timestamp(1640991540010)

Result:

  • 12/31/2021 23:59 (US)

  • 31/12/2021 23:59 (UK)

(on December 31, 2021, at 23:59 in Berlin – Germany (CET))

number(timestamp('Date + Time'))

Result: 1640991540000 (instead of 1640991540010 as above) (with 'Date + Time' being

  • 12/31/2021 23:59 (US)

  • 31/12/2021 23:59 (UK)

on December 31, 2021at 23:59 in Berlin – Germany (CET))

The timestamp differs because of rounding (see the last 2 digits). The field Date + Time sets the milliseconds equal to 0.

timestamp(format(now(),"x"))

Result:

  • 07/02/2021 11:15 AM (US)

  • 02/07/2021 11:15 (UK)

on July 2, 2021, 11:15 AM in Berlin – Germany (CET), i.e., your current time at the moment when you execute the formula.
