PPT Timestamp Autoupdate with formatting - powerpoint

In ppt we can possible create a footer timestamp, however what I need is just 'mmm YYYY', which is not provided by the ppt default options. Is it possible to access it and type in my own formatstring? Many Thanks.

In PowerPoint 2013, go to INSERT tab, then select Header & Footer, then you will see a dialog like this:
Here you should tick Date and time, then choose Fixed and edit your own footer, then select Apply to All.
After this, you will see all your slides are embedded with your own footer, a sample is attached below:

In the Header and Footer dialog box, when you put a check next to Date and time and choose Update automatically, the first choice on the dropdown listbox is the Windows short date format. If you customize this in Control Panel to mmmm YYYY, it will show August 2014 in PowerPoint.
Of course this will only work on your system. When you move it to another computer, it'll use that computer's default short date format.

HOW TO CONVERT ONE DATE FORMAT TO ANOTHER IN A COLUMN IN EMEDITOR

I have a File in Emeditor with date column with "December 30, 2021" & "2021-12-30" formats and i want to convert the entire column to "dd/mm/yyyy". How do i convert the entire column to my preferred format? Can you create a Macro for me?
Please make sure to update EmEditor version to the latest version including beta versions (v21.5.905 or later).
Select a column you want to normalize dates.
Press Ctrl+H to bring up the Replace dialog box.
Click Number Range to bring up the Enter Number Range dialog box.
Click Date/times, clear Use default date format check box, and enter yyyy-MM-dd|yyyy-M-d|MMMM dd, yyyy|MMMM d, yyyy below the check box. These are the date formats you want to search for, combined with a pipe (|).
Enter appropriate dates in Minimum number and Maximum number (optional), and click OK.
In the Replace dialog box, make sure the In the Selection Only option is set.
Enter \D dd/MM/yyyy in the Replace with box. This is a resultant date format.
Click Replace All.
If you prefer macros, you can write and run a macro like this:
document.selection.Replace("[1900-01-01 , 2100-12-31 \"yyyy-MM-dd|yyyy-M-d|MMMM dd, yyyy|MMMM d, yyyy\" ]","\\Ddd/MM/yyyy",eeFindReplaceSelOnly | eeReplaceAll,eeExFindNumberRange);
To run this, save this code as, for instance, NormalizeDate.jsee, and then select this file from Select... in the Macros menu. Finally, select Run NormalizeDate.jsee in the Macros menu. You must select a column before you run this macro.

As of v21.5.906 or later, please remove a space after /D.

.NET 2013 RDLC Reports, Date Formatting

I have created a report in RDLC (using Visual Studio 2013). in which I have a date field. I wanted to display the date field as 01-Jan-2015. Hence I have formatted the date field using Format(Fields!LICDate.Value,"dd-MMM-yyyy").
However, I get a varied output in the date field. For some date the date is formatted correctly, for example the records having the date as 28th November 2015 are displayed as 28-Nov-2015, but some records this displays weird characters. Like, if the date is 1st October 2018, it shows 01-OcA-2018, for 1st March 2016, it shows 01-3ar-2016
I have browsed through web and got various links that show examples of date formatting in RDLC and almost all the links suggest using of Format and some links have suggested using .ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"). I tried both the suggestions but the result is the same.
Am at loss on what has actually happened. The data in the database records is correct and whn I display int he DataGridView it shows correctly. This problem occurs in RDLC reports only that too for a few records only.
Any suggestions or links to solutions for similar problems are welcome.
Instead of using Format, try to right click on that text box and go to Properties/Number, then select Custom from Category and in Custom Format enter dd-MMM-yyyy.
This should fix your problem.

Kendo UI Grid Export to excel with extra info in the file?

I have an application which uses Kendo UI grid. The excel export features works fine. Now, I added some extra controls on the page. User can select some values, and then click 'refresh' button to update the data source of the grid. So that the grid won't load too much data all in once.
The question is: the export will export whatever on the screen (including all pages). When user opens the excel file, he/she won't know what parameters used to generate this.
For example, on the page, it has a date control, use select 1/1/2015, click refresh, grid shows all data for that date. When export, how the user know this selected date? It is not in the columns in grid.
What I want to have is an extra row at the top, which shows something like:
Date: 1/1/2015, Para2: value2, ...
Is this possible in current Kendo ui grid? or have to manipulate the excel file (which we want to avoid at any cost)?
Thanks
we can use mult-column feature of latest kendo to add one more row at the top and covers all existing columns, and use it for extra information.
http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/multicolumnheaders
However, I need to dynamically change the title of this row, i.e. when user select a parameter from drop down list, I need to reflect the change in the title. This can be done by jQuery. The problem is Export of Kendo. The export seems using whatever the initial title is. i.e. if I change parameters to:
Date: 2/1/2015, Para2: value2, ...
jQuery changed the title in this multi-column row. But the export still has:
Date: 1/1/2015, Para2: value2, ...
Anyone knows how to fix this? Or, can't be done in current Kendo?
Thanks

Kendo grid column/filter menu disappears after using datepicker

In my Kendo grid I have a data set that includes a date. The date is filterable and includes the built-in date picker.
When you click the date picker and subsequently pick at date from the calendar pop-up, the cursor is inevitably below the original column pop-up menu that shows the date-picker icon and input field.
Therefore, the pop-up disappears before you can submit the filter query and requires you to go back into the column menu, select filter, where you will see the date that was previously chosen.
Then you can press submit and it will filter on the date.
This behavior is quite annoying and I was wondering how I could keep the original column menu pop-up displayed so the user can then click submit. As it stands, the only way to do this is to very quickly move the mouse back up into the original pop-up after clicking on a date!
I am having the exact same issue. All standard settings as OP mentioned.
Edit: **** SOLUTION ****

Block previous days from being display in DatePicker

I've a problem where I want to block the previous date from being display in DatePicker tool of Toolkit or you can say that I want to apply some limit to the dates.
For example:
If today's date is 15/7/2013 then by clicking on DatePicker control it's should not display the dates previous to 15/7/2013.
Its should show the next 30 days but not beyond that.
I'll be thankful to all who suggest their answers and opinion.
I don't think you can do that. However, you can download the source and modify it to add your requirements. The source code is pretty straightforward.
