/* FUNCTION: QtrRoundTS ( fmTimestamp ) Rounds a timestamp by quarter hour. VERSION: 1.0 */ Let ([ TS = fmTimestamp ; TSnum = GetAsNumber ( TS ) ; TSmin = Minute ( TS ) ; MinTarget = 60 * ( Round ( ( TSmin / 60 ) / .25 ; 0 ) * .25 ) ; MinAdjust = MinTarget - TSmin ; TSsec = Seconds ( TS ) ]; GetAsTimestamp ( TSnum + ( MinAdjust * 60 ) - TSsec ) ) Click to copy

Rounds a timestamp by quarter hour, by calculating the offset of the timestamp's numeric equivalent, instead of toying with dates/times, AM/PM, this/next year, etc.

How about just: Round ( timestamp / 900 ; 0 ) * 900
