Hi all,

trying "type $(date(2003-10-16 16:43:25)+1.5,D10);" in a script-window in Origin 7G_SR4(B552) on W2K gives the correct result: "2003-10-18 04:43:25" (of course depending on the settings regarding date/time-display).

If I try the same "date(2003-10-16 16:43:25)+1.5" as a "calculate column"-command in a worksheet it just puts "2003-10-23 12:00:00" which is the current date (without correct time!).

Any suggestions? I need this urgently to convert a timeseries with seconds since start into an absolute time scale.

Waiting for your help ....
Jochen

This appears to be a peculiar bug in the Set Column Values routine, since the exact same command works from the script window. In a rather bizarre workaround, you can juggle the expression into this form:

date(10/16/2003) + 1.5 + 16/24 + 43/(24*60) + 25/(24*60*60)

which for your date format should be:

date(2003-10-16) + 1.5 + 16/24 + 43/(24*60) + 25/(24*60*60)
or
date(2003-10-16) + 1.5 + (16*60*60+43*60+25)/(24*60*60)

and it works.
