I am trying to create a Zapier integration template for my Zapier application with MailChimp.
The following error is being thrown by MailChimp:
Invalid Resource - Your merge fields were invalid. BIRTHDAY: Please enter a month (01-12) and a day (01-31).
The value of the merges__BIRTHDAY field is "1983-05-03" which is an ISO 8601 format compliant with Zapier's date field format guidelines.
What went wrong? What is the format I am supposed to be using here?
Per MailChimp's docs they expect a birthday in the format "MM/DD". When they say "Please enter a month (01-12) and a day (01-31)", they mean only those two values; it's the day in the year someone's birthday falls on, not the date of the day they were born.

I was trying to get some data by using one of the api call QueryInstanceBill
The resulted JSON seems to be long and there is no date column to filter on how i got those many records.
Could someone here help me out
To be able to filter by date, The billing date only used when Granularity is DAILY，format: YYYY-MM-DD. Example 2020-07-29
You can also use the "BillingCycle" field in the request:
The billing cycle. Format: YYYY-MM. Example: 2020-07
Documentation:
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/100400.htm
QueryInstanceBill API returns data for billing cycle which is usually for a month (YYYY-MM)
If you want data for a particular date then in request parameter provide the value for field "BillingDate" in format: YYYY-MM-DD
and the value for field "Granularity" should be "DAILY"
Check out the documentation:
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/100400.htm
Also, you can use OpenAPI Explorer, I have provided BillingCycle as "2019-10", BillingDate as "2019-10-15" and Granularity as "DAILY":

I have a Photo model that contains information about a historical photo, including date of photography. Often we do not know exactly which day the photo has been taken, but only the month or year. Is there some way to solve this without having three database fields for date, month and year.
date("m-Y",strtotime($date));
I think this could work. Let me know if it helped.
You can enter a date with a random day. It will cut it out.
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.
We have an ApEx data entry site that is translated into both Mexican Spanish and Canadian French. One of the critical columns on most data tables is the date associated with the data. As such, there are date picker fields for each time this value is needed.
The translations automatically display the month code based on the current language (a date picked in January on the Spanish site will display 'Ene' for enero). Before the date is recorded to the DB, the application format mask 'DD-MON-RR' is applied; this understands the current language and records the value on the DB in English.
The issue is that the month of December (diciembre) is showing the abbreviation of 'Dec' rather than 'Dic'. As a result, error ORA-01843 (not a valid month) is generated and the data is not saved. However, if the entry is manually changed to ##-Dic-##, the value is recorded correctly without error.
This makes it appear that the automatically-generated month abbreviation for this language is incorrect. Is this a known error with a solution?
I don't know anything about globalization, my Apex applications are in Croatian only. However, as a workaround, perhaps you could switch to another date format mask, such as DD.MM.YYYY; doing so, you wouldn't depend on language differences.
I ran an SQL Query for Oracle which consists of Invoice date and Check date. When these data are copied on to an Excel Spreadsheet as text, it's dispayed as ex: "13-10-31" (Oct 31, 2013). However, when converted to date format, it's displayed as "10/13/1931". I've tried different date types but it always recognizes as the first part of the text as the day, then month, then year. I need these values to be setup as a date format as I need to calculate Days Payable Outstanding and other related ratios.
Is there any way to convert these values so that Excel recognizes the day, month, and year correctly? Would there be a macro that could automate this process for existing data and data that will be added in the future?
Thank you in advance.
Firstly, I hope the data type of your date column is DATE.
Secondly, the date should always have year as YYYY and not just YY. The world has already learned from Y2K bug.
If above two points are met, then while displaying use to_char(date_column, 'mm/dd/yyyy'). Thus, with YYYY format, there won't be any confusion between year and other fields.
