Parameters

Sr.No. Parameter & Description
1

datetime

A datetime value representing time. E.g. 18:15:00 or 6:48 P.M.

Return Value

An integer from 0 to 23.

Remarks

The parameter to the DAX HOUR function is the time that contains the hour you want to find.

You can specify the time as one of the following −

  • An output of a date/time function.
  • An expression that returns a datetime value.
  • A value in one of the accepted time formats.
  • An accepted text representation of a time.

The HOUR function uses the locale and date/time settings of the client computer to understand the text value in order to perform the conversion. Most locales use the colon (:) as the time separator and any input text using colons as time separators will parse correctly. Review your locale settings to understand your results.

Example

= HOUR ("18:15:15") returns 18. 
= HOUR ("6:15:15") returns 6. 
= HOUR (NOW ()) returns 9, if NOW () returns 12/16/2016 9:02:12 AM.
