How does it work?

DateTimeRounder can be used to round the date or time to a specific interval.

For example, you can have the time rounded to 5 minute intervals to keep all events in that timeframe grouped together.

DateTimeRounder can also be used to remove fractional seconds by rounding down to an interval of 1 second.

The input can be a DateTime in either the FME or ISO format. Output is in Standard FME Date/Time Format.

Sub-nanosecond durations are truncated before rounding.

Input Datetime	Datetime value in either FME or ISO format.
Unit to Round	Select the time unit to be used for rounding: Days Hours Minutes Seconds Milliseconds Microseconds Nanoseconds
Interval	Specify the number of time units to be used for rounding. The default is 1. If Unit to Round is Days, the interval is limited to 1. For all other units, the interval must be evenly divisible into the maximum number for that unit: 24 Hours 60 Minutes 60 Seconds 1000 Milliseconds 1000 Microseconds 1000 Nanoseconds For example, an Interval of 5 is valid for both Minutes and Seconds, but not Hours, as 24/5 does not produce an integer.
Round-off Direction	Select a rounding method: Nearest: the value is rounded up or down to nearest value Up: the value will always be rounded up Down: the value will always be rounded down
