What is the unix timestamp formula?


Asked by Luke Wilcox on Dec 13, 2021 UNIX Getting started



Convert Timestamp to Date To easily convert UNIX timestamp to date, do the following: In a blank cell next to your timestamp list and type this formula = (((A1/60)/60)/24)+DATE (1970,1,1) , press Enter key
In fact,
The unix time stamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at UTC. Therefore, the unix time stamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch.
Besides, To insert date & time stamp in file name, you can use something like, $FileName = "FileName" + (Get-Date).tostring("dd-MM-yyyy-hh-mm-ss")
Indeed,
The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1/1/1970), but 'epoch' is often used as a synonym for Unix time.
Moreover,
It is simple to convert timestamp from the given date. First, You have to convert string to Date object using new Date (String) Next, call getTime () method on date object to return *Unix timestamp * valueOf method return Unix seconds since epoch time.
