date time seconds formula

date time seconds formula

(OP)
I need help with a formula to convert a number field to a datetime field. This particular field stores seconds from 01/01/1970 00:00:00 I am having a brain fart and cannot remeber all of the rules for leap years and so forth, and someone mentioned needing to add 1 second every 11 years? any help would be appriciated.

RE: date time seconds formula

I hope you don't have to do that.
How about:

DateTimeValue(1970,1,1,0,0,0) + {field} / (24*60*60)
