Time Rounding Up Question Access VBA

Hmmm, is this it?

Me.txtFinish.Value = (CDate(Round(DateAdd("n", 3, Now()) * 288, 0) / 288))

Select allOpen in new window

Seems it might be about right.

I am trying to get away without a function.
Why?
And /gustav's might be good too.
I didn't test it

Here's mine

Me.txtStart.Value = CDate(Int(Now) + (Int((CDbl(Now) - Int(Now)) * 24 * 12) + 1) / (24 * 12))
Here's the logic
We're going to coerce the date to a Double and remove the day part
CDbl(Now) - Int(Now)
That leaves us with the fraction of the day
There's 24 hours in a day and 12 five minute periods in an hour, so we'll change the fraction into 5 minute periods
CDbl(Now) - Int(Now) *24*12
Now we'll truncate that to get rid of fractional sub 5 minute amounts
Int(CDbl(Now) - Int(Now) *24*12)
Then add one to round up
Int(CDbl(Now) - Int(Now) *24*12) + 1
Convert it back to a fraction of a day
(Int(CDbl(Now) - Int(Now) *24*12) + 1)/(24*12)
Add the date whole number back on
Int(Now) + (Int(CDbl(Now) - Int(Now) *24*12) + 1)/(24*12)
And coerce it to a date
CDate(Int(Now) + (Int(CDbl(Now) - Int(Now) *24*12) + 1)/(24*12))

But a function would make for much more maintainable code!

gustav's is always good, as he is the Master of all things date, time and rounding :-)

<grin>
I've remarked on that and suggested an Article should be written
Alas!  It hasn't been forthcoming.

But the ask was for 'not a function'
You can turn /gustav's into 'not a function' but it doesn't start that way.

It's been a while since I've played with Hijri dates.
Those were interesting questions.
Depending on many things, a day can be the last day of the month in one country and the first day of the month in another.

I know and remember just too well, and I'm about it - turns out as a major task.

That's why I didn't write a function ... just inserted two lines before the existing code line.

/gustav

Thank you Gustav worked first time.

Why do I want to get away without a function? It's just easier for me in this situation.

Nick thank you too :-)
