Syntax
Operand1 + Operand2
The operands can be entered either directly or as a variable and can be of
the type Text, Number or Date/Time.
Examples
Operand1 Operand2 Result Example Remark
both operands of the same type:
Number Number Number 1.2 + 3 = 4.2 -
Text Text Text "Metrohm" + "AG" =
"Metrohm AG" If the maximum permissible length
(65 536 characters) of the charac-
ter string is exceeded by addition
of the operands, the surplus char-
acters will be removed from the
second operand.
Time Time Number Time(1998;04;06) +
Time(1964;02;03) = 59300.875 (for
UTC+1) Result: Number of days calculated
from December 1899, dependent
on the system time
Operand of different type: The operand which does not correspond to the result type is converted to the relevant
result type before the operation.
Number Text Text 1.2 + "Metrohm" = "1.2Metrohm" -
Text Number Text "Metrohm" + 1.2 = "Metrohm1.2" -
Number Time Number 2.0 + Time(1999;11;7) = 36472.96
(for UTC+1) Result: Number of days calculated
from December 1899, dependent
on the system time
Time Number Number Time(1999;10;7) + 2.0 = 36441.92
(for UTC+2) Result: Number of days calculated
from December 1899, dependent
on the system time
Text Time Text "Metrohm" + Time(1999;10;7) =
"Metrohm1999-10-07 00:00:00
UTC+2" Before the operation, the operand
of the type Date/Time is conver-
ted to Text.
Time Text Text Time(1999;01;7) + "Metrohm" =
"1999-01-07 00:00:00 UTC
+1Metrohm" The same rules apply here as for
the previous operation.
