I have a table which needs the following columns with the following formats (the formatting how I want it to appear is in the brackets):
Delay Hours (simple 2 digit format e.g 00, 01, 02, 15, 25 from 00 to 99 or 48)
Delay Mins (simple 2 digit format e.g 00, 01, 02, 15, 25 from 00 to 59)
Time (simple [Delay Hours] : [Delay Mins] format so it appears like 01:52)
I have a weird requirement that I need all 3 columns to exist as I have something which bolts onto the database which doesn't like the : in the time column.
How would I go about setting up the formats of the columns in order to get them to export correctly? The issue I am having at the moment is that I have been concatenating the Delay Hours and Mins as short text to create the Time field as I am wanting the hours and minutes to come out in a 2 digit format rather than something like 1:5 (which should be coming out as 01:05).
Ideally I would have Time be the thing collected by my form so the user would input for example 05:35 and then the Delay Hours and Delay Mins columns would be calculated from this.
Any help would be appreciated and let me know if you need me to explain anything extra.
