Number format issue

Hello all

I have a macro in excel that generate a txt file for all rows with data.

But i have an issue with 1 single value

In my cells from column E, starting at row 7, i will have a value with this format:
201204081900 = YYYYMMDDHHMM
hrs would
The isssue i have is that i would like to add 7 hours to it. This should also respect the date.

Ex: If date is 20120408 and time at 2300, adding 7 hrs would be 201204090600.

How can i do that?

It just need to send the new date and time in the txt file.

So this is the macro i use to send the column E value in the txt file:

If i = 10 Then sOut = sOut & DELIMITER & Left(.Offset(0, 4).Text & String(74, PAD), 12)

How can i add 7hrs on that code transfer.

Thanks again for your help.

I'm not sure where it belongs in the code but this should work.

It creates a 'real' date time from the string and adds 7 hours to that and then it reformats the string as required.

Dim strDT As String
Dim dblDT As Double

    strDT = "201204082300"
    
    strDT = Format(strDT, "0000\/00\/00 00:00")
    
    dblDT = DateValue(strDT) + TimeSerial(Hour(strDT) + 7, 0, 0)
    
    strDT = Format(dblDT, "yyyymmddhhnn")

It might actually be worth creating a small function from this code

Function AddHours(varDT As String, Hrs As Integer) As String
Dim strDT As String
Dim dblDT As Double

    strDT = Format(varDT, "0000\/00\/00 00:00")
    
    dblDT = DateValue(strDT) + TimeSerial(Hour(strDT) + Hrs, 0, 0)
    
    AddHours = Format(dblDT, "yyyymmddhhnn")
End Function

Hello

If i have multiple rows of data, will it add 7 hours to all value from column E that could be different?

Cause normally, they will be different.

That is why i wanted to add 7 hours to the date+time from column E
