How can I set 5 hours back?

I have an attribute "time" in my data set, the value is like "2010-03-09T08:51:34", I want to set 5 hours back.

So I did following thing:
  • "Nominal to Date", so the attribute will be turned to date format
  • "generate attribute", the new attribute has the expression: date_add(time, -5)
but this doesn't work. Error: Invalid number of arguments for 'data_add', must be either 3 or 5.

How can I set 5 hours back for the "time"???

    Hi,

    you're looking for that: 

    date_add(date, -5, DATE_UNIT_HOUR)
    Currently, you can have a look at the tooltip of each function for details and examples. However the whole dialog will be revamped in the future because it's not very good at the moment.

    Regards,
    Marco
