Date time

I have used the formula NOW() to update a field based upon criteria. I need to add second ss to that. Please suggest a solution.

That didn't work Ajay K Dubedi,
This formula worked for me: SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(fieldname__c - 7/24), 'Z', '')

Hi Meena25,
For add seconds use addSeconds Try the following code, it may be helpful for you:
DateTime myDateTime = System.NOW();
System.debug('myDateTime-->'+myDateTime);
DateTime newDateTime = myDateTime.addSeconds(4);
System.debug('myDateTime-->'+newDateTime);
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
Thanks,

Hi Meena,

Change the Field Type to Text and try the below formula:
TEXT(DATEVALUE(NOW()))+'-'+TEXT(TIMEVALUE(NOW()))
It will show results like '2019-06-06-08:25:03.029'

Thanks
