<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3152578" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="9">Use the TimeValue function to convert any time into a single value, so that you can calculate time differences.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3163710" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="10">This TimeValue function returns the type Variant with VarType 7 (Date), and stores this value internally as a double-precision number between 0 and 0.9999999999.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3151117" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="11">As opposed to the DateSerial or the DateValue function, where serial date values result in days relative to a fixed date, you can calculate with the values that are returned by the TimeValue function, but you cannot evaluate them.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3147426" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="12">In the TimeSerial function, you can pass individual parameters (hour, minute, second) as separate numeric expressions. For the TimeValue function, however, you can pass a string as a parameter containing the time.</paragraph>
