Dynamics 365, Entity View, format date field to "Month Year" - dynamics-crm

I am working on an entity view that displays billing records with associated date. This date field needs to be displayed as "Month - Year". Unfortunately, I am not able to find a way to format this date field outside of modifying the entity and even then, I only have the option for date only or date and time.
I have noticed that I can select the field and click on Change Properties. There I have "Web Resource" and Function Name. I have tried creating a web resource with a function that returns some data. Set everything up, saved and published. This function is not even found in dev tools. Only examples that I have for it are dealing with using this method for icons:https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/view-customization-with-javascript-in-dynamics-365/
In another example the suggestion is to use calculated fields, but this would cause me to lose date sorting and filtering on the form.

That view-based JavaScript seems to be to choose an icon. I'm not sure it would allow you to reformat actual data in the view. And if you're looking for assistance with trying to do that, you'd probably get more help if you posted the code.
Besides the JavaScript approach, you might want to think about creating a separate text field to hold the "Month - Year" value. Then you could use a workflow, plugin, or JavaScript to populate it when the datetime field changes.
One of the free workflow tool packages (Jason Lattimer's, Aiden Kaskela's, or Andrew Butenko's) probably has the ability to parse the date so you can format the month and year, and store the string in the separate field. This would be a no-code option.
Alternatively, you could write a plugin to reformat the datetime values and register it on the RetrieveMultiple message of the entity.
I'd probably go with a separate field and an off-the-shelf workflow utility to populate it.

There are several ways:
1. Setting->Administration->System Setting->Format->Customize,
2. http://prntscr.com/ph42nc,
3. or use on load with js to change date format more on this subject here: How to change date format in JavaScript

Microsoft Graph API: Filter messages received last month

I was wondering if Microsoft Graph has filtering available to retrieve emails only received last month that is from 1st day of last month to last day of last month.
Also, I save custom user properties with each email called "CompletedTime". I would also like to know if there is any filtering which would only pull emails which has value in custom user property "CompletedTime".
Thank you in advance.
KQL has a reserved keyword for last month https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/keyword-query-language-kql-syntax-reference so something like
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$search="received:\"last month\""&$select=subject,receivedDateTime&$Top=1000
Should work to return the last months email, you could also do a filter or a search using a date range.
Also, I save custom user properties with each email called "CompletedTime". I would also like to know if there is any filtering which would only pull emails which has value in custom user property "CompletedTime".
If you know what the extended property representation of the property is then you can use a Filter on that. (If you don't know what the extended property is then use a MAPI editor like OutlookSpy of mfcmapi to work it out.

How to limit entries to only a specific date format and prevent copy paste?

I want a column in my spreadsheet to only have dates in the yyyy-mm-dd format. The format can be set using the Format option but the problem appears when I start using data validation. Now, if I use the standard data validation of "is Date" and do a "Reject Input" in case of any other type of entry, it works perfectly ... until someone copy pastes data in this column - and as soon as that happens, data validation goes away (which is understandable since there's been a paste job done). How can I prevent this problem?
I want the sheet to reject any input or copy paste of data that's not in the yyyy-mm-dd format
Already tried data validation plus formatting
Note: multiple people with varying degrees of tech proficiency will be using this sheet and hence date validation is important
If you are allowing users to write directly into Google Sheets cells, there isn't a way to prevent that they change the date formatting.
The alternatives are to reapply the desired format, either manually or automatically, or to use another method to get user input, like a Google Apps Script prompt or custom dialog.

400 - Bad Request while saving Date Only field in CRM using Web API

I am using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API approach to interacting with CRM data.
Here I want to update the field with type: DATE and TIME.
Date value I am passing in the request body is as below:
"packfirstday":"1-15-2018"
Except for above, I have also tried with DateTime and with different date formats.
e.g.
mm-dd-yyyy
m-dd-yyyy
mm/dd/yyyy
yyyy/mm/dd
yyyy-mm-dd
PS: I try to post without date field it is saving details successfully.
The problem is not with the code, the simple misunderstanding.
There are 2 components namely Behavior & Format. You have Format set as 'Date only' not the Behavior. Behavior decides the Database terms whereas Format is used for displaying datepicker controls in Form.
So when you set the field in web api with only date part - the CRM database expects time part also.
Either set behavior also as date only, so this will work:
"packfirstday":"2018-01-15" //YYYY-mm-dd format
Or change your code to pass time part also:
"packfirstday":"2018-01-15T11:10:00.000Z" //UTC offset
Since user local behavior still expects the time part.

Joomla article field date minimum limit

I am Building a Family site with Joomla 3.7.3 and are trying to add custom fields to the articles. I am e.g. adding the birthday of a Family member in a field. But, it seems like I cannot create a date before 1900-01-01. Do you know of a workaround for this and maybe why one would add this limit to a date field?
Note: I see that there is an option called: "minyear" in the documentation. It might solve the problem, but how do you use it?
Even though the datepicker popup only goes back to 1900, you can manually type in whatever date you want.
You can change the date format disabled by going to Language Overrides and changing the constant of DATE_FORMAT_LC4 to F d, Y or whatever format you want.
If you want to tinker with the datepicker functionality, I believe those files are in /media/system/js/

Filter by date in Qlik Cloud

I have sheet in Qlik Cloud, where I have dataset from whole month. I would like to filter this dataset by date or time - 1 day, 1 week, 12 hours... column with date/time in format yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss is in dataset for each row. Is possible insert some calendar? Or have you any idea?
Thanks for your answers ;)
Provided that your data is loaded correctly, drag the field directly onto the sheet. This will create a look-up box that can be searched.
You can see if the field has been identified correctly as a date as it will appear like this on the field selector
Another Option
Create a filter box option and add your date field to it, the benefit of this is that you can have multiple filters in one place. Allowing users to pick the part of the date relevant to them. For example showing the year field, the month field and the date field in one
one more option
Using non-standard Qlik extensions you can achieve the functionality that you require. SenseDateRangePicker is an extension that provides extended date selection functionality.
