06/07/2559 < this is dd/MM/yyyy
This is ok for converting but CDate convert to this format MM/dd/yyyy
If I use this
30/06/2559 I'll get error because CDate think 30 is a month.
Anyway to convert my string dd/MM/yyyy to Date in Report?
Thanks in advance
Three ways/things that you can do to achieve this -
You can set the localisation format at the report level which means you don't have to use the format function every time you drop a date on to the report.
You can covert the string to your required format ('mm/dd/yyyy' or 'dd/mm/yyyy') in database itself. For your reference in MSSQL you can do it like this -
You can format (use FORMAT() function) your code in SSRS itself somewhat like below -
On that field change attibute Language to es-Es (or any other country that uses dd/MM/yyyy format)

I have to get the max payment date on an invoice and I am having trouble with the date format. I do not need the max in this formula as I am using the format in a reporting tool that is pulling the max from what it finds for me.
Using "to_char({datefield},'mm/dd/yyyy')" works for displaying that date the way we would like BUT when you use summary function MAX it does not pull the correct date because it is looking at a string and not a date (it will think 12/3/21 is larger than 3/2/22).
Another thing I have tried is trunc - "trunc({datefield})" which gives us the correct max date but it changes the formatting. For example if the date prior to the formula being applied is "8/12/21 12:00:00:000" the trunc formula will display it as 12-08-21 which is horribly wrong.
Long story short is I need a way to change a date/time to date with the format of 'mmmm/dd/yyyy' WITHOUT converting it to a string with something like to_char. Thank you!!!!
A DATE is a binary data type consisting of 7 bytes representing: century, year-of-century, month, day, hour, minute and second. It ALWAYS has all of those components and it is NEVER stored with any (human-readable) format.
What you are seeing when a date is displayed is the client application you are using to access the database making a decision to be helpful to you, the user, and display the binary DATE provided by the database in a human-readable format.
If you want to change how the DATE is displayed then you either need to:
Change the settings on the client application that controls how it formats dates when it displays them to you; or
Change the data-type so that it is no longer a DATE (which does not have a format) to a data type where the values of the date can be formatted (such as a string). You can do this using TO_CHAR.
If you want to find the maximum then do it BEFORE applying the formatting:
SELECT TO_CHAR(MAX({datefield}),'mm/dd/yyyy')
FROM your_table;
I am using Faker to generate a random Birthdate and feed the same in a Date input box in DD/MM/YYYY format through my automation script.
I tried this below snippet, however, it returns a date in YYYY/MM/DD format. I tried changing the from and to date format to DD/MM/YYYY as well, but no luck.
def self.get_birth_date
Faker::Date.between(from: '1950/01/01', to: '2001/12/31')
end
Would appreciate, if someone from the group can help. Thanks!
You could use strftime method:
Faker::Date.between(from: '1950/01/01', to: '2001/12/31').strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
It will return "29/05/1969"
i have my date coming in string form :'2014-12-31T05:00:00.000+00:00'
how can TO convert this into date format in informaticA
Take a sub string of the time string '2014-12-31T05:00:00.000+00:00' to '2014-12-31' after all you need date part only.
Then parse the date using to_date method.
to_date('substring date','yyyy-dd-mm')
You can use this:
to_date('2014-12-31T05:00:00.000+00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD.HH:MI:SS.MS......')
Keep in mind that it ignores the time zone information.
I have a table of data which have date and time as two separate field where date format is
dd/mm/yyyy and dd-mm-yyyy and time format is like hh:mm:ss(eg: 6:52:53)
i need to filter the record for a particular time period that both time and date wise filtering.
is there any predefined filter available with hive or pig?
Hive does recognize certain strings as unixtime dates.
You might try a where condition while concatenating the time & date together into unixtime format.
Some documentation on Hive date functions/formats are located here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF#LanguageManualUDF-DateFunctions
I suppose you have one column having two date format ie. dd/mm/yyyy and dd-mm-yyyy
What You can try
1) Replacing '/' to '-' so that complete column will be in dd-mm-yyyy format.
2) Try concatanating this field with time field
3) filter it by Casting concatinated field.
Hope this helps.
just possibility :- Have you tried casting that concatenated field to date datatype and then try date functions for desired output ?
eg. to_date()

By default if the input parameter to BIRT report is of type Date, it takes yyyy-MM-dd format.
Can we change to something else e.g. may be dd/MM/yyyy ?
You can change the input format for a date parameter. Click on "Change..." select Format as "Custom" and you can enter a valid format code as you like.
If you want to enter a default Date you still have to use the yyyy-MM-dd Format, this cannot be changed ( where I used new Date() in the Picture), but the output format will still be your entered format.
Another option is to use the format Date Time section in the Birt designer and choose the right locale and formatting for the date.
I have done it in Birt 3.7 and works fine
There can be many way to do that but the easy one is you can do this in SQL Query itself.
If you are using DB2 you may try
VARCHAR_FORMAT("Your Column Mapping Name",'DD-Mon-YYYY') AS dataSetName.
But this will change its Data type to String
Try if this make any seance.
