# TIMEVALUE

Returns the time value without the date, such as business hours.

## Use

`TIMEVALUE(value)` and replace value with a date/time or text value, merge field, or expression.

## Tips

- The displayed value is formatted based on the org’s Locale settings.
- Don’t use `TIMEVALUE` on a time field. A time field’s value is already in time format. For example, for a time field with an API name `timefield__c`, `TIMEVALUE(timefield__c)` doesn’t do anything.
- `TIMEVALUE` converts the input value to the time in GMT. This function doesn’t take the user’s time zone into account.

Time Example

TIMEVALUE(ClosedDate) displays a time value based on the value of the Date/Time Closed field.

`TIMEVALUE("17:30:45.125")` returns 5:30 PM.
