Hi Mohan,

The error is because, you are expecting an output like 11:35, but your Formula return type is Number, and as you know ':' colon is not a number hence it throws an error.

Further, here's what you can do, If you want the output for  10/14/2016 11:35 to be like 11:35(including colon), then change your formula return type to Text and use the following formula :

MID(TEXT ( Calculating_Date__c - 0.2916),12,5)

If you want the formula field to be Number type , then you will have to let go of ':' colon here and the output would be like 1135 with the following formula:

VALUE (MID(TEXT ( Calculating_Date__c - 0.2916),12,2) + MID(TEXT ( Calculating_Date__c - 0.2916),15,2))

Hope this helps!

Please let me know how this works for you, mark this as Solved if this helps you so that others can view it as a proper solution.

Thanks,
