integer hour(time argument)

Returns the hour encoded in the argument. The result is an integer ranging from 0 (12:00 AM) to 23 (11:00 PM).

Automatic type conversion allows the use of a time string as argument instead of an explicit date value.

Examples

=hour(0.8)

and

=hour(32791.8)

both equal 19; assuming standard US time format settings,

=hour("3:45:30 PM")

equals 15.
