Convert military time

M
Forum|alt.badge.img

I have a date field called 'Date Started' and a text field called 'Time Started' in military format.Based on those two, I'd like to create a new column called 'Date Time Combo' (shown above) in the following format: mm/dd/yyy hh:mm AM/PM.

What's the best method to achieve this?

    Found another expression that returns date/time string with your desired format.

    @Value(Date Started) @DateTimeFormat(@Format(%04d00,@Value(Time Started)),%l:%M %p)
