Struct TimeFn 

pub struct TimeFn;

Returns the fractional-day serial for a time built from hour, minute, and second.

TIME normalizes overflowing and negative components by wrapping across day boundaries.

Remarks

• The result is always in the range 0.0..1.0 and represents only a time-of-day fraction.
• Values are normalized like Excel (for example, 25 hours becomes 01:00:00).
• Time fractions are date-system independent because they do not include a date component.

Examples

title: "Create noon"
formula: "=TIME(12, 0, 0)"
expected: 0.5

title: "Wrap overflowing hour"
formula: "=TIME(25, 0, 0)"
expected: 0.0416666667

faq:
  - q: "Can TIME return values greater than 1 day?"
    a: "No. TIME wraps overflow and always returns a fraction in [0,1), so extra days are discarded."

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for TimeFn

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Function for TimeFn

fn caps(&self) -> FnCaps

Capability flags for this function

fn name(&self) -> &'static str

fn min_args(&self) -> usize

fn arg_schema(&self) -> &'static [ArgSchema]

fn eval<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

The unified evaluation path.

fn namespace(&self) -> &'static str

fn variadic(&self) -> bool

fn volatile(&self) -> bool

fn aliases(&self) -> &'static [&'static str]

Optional list of additional alias names (case-insensitive) that should resolve to this function. Default: empty slice. Implementors can override to expose legacy names. Returned slice must have ’static lifetime (typically a static array reference).

fn function_salt(&self) -> u64

fn eval_reference<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, _args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Option<Result<ReferenceType, ExcelError>>

Optional reference result path. Only called by the interpreter/engine when the callsite expects a reference (e.g., range combinators, by-ref argument positions, or spill sources).

fn dispatch<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

Dispatch to the unified evaluation path with automatic argument validation.
