I have a column in power query called "Delivery Date", type date.
I want to convert the date to serial number (the same as in excel when you change type date to "general" format. My date is "yyyy-mm-dd"
example:
"2023-02-01" formatted as "44958"
"2023-01-31" formatted as "44957"
This is the output I would like:
Delivery Date
DateCode
2023-02-01
44958
2023-01-31
44957
I've tried this code:
= Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Delivery Date", Number.From}})
as well as duplicating my "Delivery Date" column and changing Type to "Int64"
in both cases my output is 6.38108E+17 for Feb 1st date, and 6.38107E+17 for Jan 31st date.
I have not been able to find a solution anywhere online thus far and have been formatting it once it's loaded into excel (which is an unnecessary step).
Thanks!
How about
let Source = #table({"Delivery Date"},{{"2023-02-01 5:00:00 AM +00:00"}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Delivery Date", type datetime}}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type",{{"Delivery Date", type number}})
in #"Changed Type1"
Transform to date/time
Transform again to number, without replacing original transformation

I need to convert the date string of type WEEKDAY DATE MONTHNAME, Example: from "Monday 5 October" to date object.
I have tried with
Utilities.formatDate(new Date("Monday 5 October"), "GMT", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'")
How do I convert it, I am ok using V8 apps script engine
The Date constructor accepts timestamp strings formatted according to IETF-compliant RFC 2822 timestamps and ISO8601.
There are many ways to convert your string to date, but probably one of the simplest is appending the current year to your string, using getFullYear():
const source = "Monday 5 October";
const date = new Date(`${source} ${new Date().getFullYear()}`);
Reference:
Date() constructor
IETF-compliant RFC 2822 timestamps
pardon me if it seems to be a duplicate question.
I have seen many posts already on this topic. However after trying many examples could not find the solution to my problem.
I tried this code
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH )
Date newDate = sdf.parse(sdf.format( new Date( dateTimeString ) ) )
However the second line of code always converts the date to the server specific date and timezone which i don't want. I also tried the following
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz", Locale.ENGLISH )
log.info "+++++++++++++++++hidden date ++++++++ " + params.hiddenGameDateTime.substring(35, 38)
log.info "x = " + sdf.format( new Date ( params.hiddenGameDateTime ))
String tzone = params.hiddenGameDateTime.substring(35, 38)
sdf.setTimeZone( TimeZone.getTimeZone( tzone ) )
log.info "Timezone = " + sdf.getTimeZone().getDisplayName()
Please note that
sdf.format( new Date( dateTimeString ) )
gives me the desired result, however it gives me the string value of the date and the actual value to be stored in database is of the Data type date which can't hold the string value.
the value for date and time in my case gets converted to PST date and time. how can i avoid this. The user input date with timezone should be stored in the database as it is with no change in date and timezone.
An observation: The constructor new Date( dateTimeString ) is deprecated. A better replacement would be something like that:
SimpleDateFormat sdfOriginal = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
Date d = sdfOriginal.parse(dateTimeString);
Furthermore: An expression like sdf.parse(sdf.format(...)) using the same format object does not make much sense.
But most important, your statement "the second line of code always converts the date to the server specific date and timezone" seems to be based on test output like:
System.out.println(newDate);
This implicitly uses toString() which is based on jvm default time zone, in your case the server time zone. But keep in mind, the internal state of j.u.Date does not reference any time zone. A Date is just a container for a long, namely the seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z in UTC time zone, that is a global time.
Additional remark:
If you need the client time zone (in a scenario with multiple users in different time zones) to create user-specific formatted date strings, then you indeed need to store the time zone preference of every user in the database, so you can use this information for output in an expression like:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("{pattern}";
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("{user-preference-time-zone}");
String userOutput = sdf.format(date);
Date is always jvm timezone specific. You need to normalize it to standard time and store it in DB to cater with different timezone servers.
I want to filter my View according to selected date which is in the format "DD/MM/YYYY", but my dataview column has date in "DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss" format.I want to filter the view according to selected date irrespective of time.How do i convert MATCH_DATE column to the format "DD/MM/YYYY" format in RowFilter.
dtFixt.DefaultView.RowFilter = "MATCH_DATE='" & CType(calSeason.SelectedDate,DateTime).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") & "'"
You can convert the MATCH_DATE column to "DD/MM/YYYY" format in your view, using CONVERT function as follows:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), MATCH_COLUMN, 103)
103 is a Date Format Code that converts the any date in "DD/MM/YYYY" format.
For more details on different date formats, refer article Date Formats.
I have a column in a table in which we are storing date in DATETIME format. (DD-MON-RRRR HH24:MI:SS) - Database Oracle 11g.
Data Type of a column is DATE, and storing date in 01-01-2012 01:00 PM (i.e. jan 1, 2012) format.
entity
#NotNull
#Column(name = "dateColumnName")
#Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date sampleDate;
I am fetching all data by passing date
SAMPLE_QUERY = "select * from TableA tab where tab.dateWithTime = :sampleDate order by tab.dateWithTime ASC "
singleDate is "Tue Jan 24 00:00:00 IST 2012" , fasttime :
1327343400000
The problem is I am passing only date in the query, though Date through which records are being fetched is in DATE TIME format i.e 01-01-2012 01:00 PM.
How can i change my query so that it fetches all the records in ascending order of DateTime.
If you want to fetch all times for that day, then change your query to be more like
SELECT ... WHERE dateField >= :lowerParam AND dateField < :upperParam
Oracle has no DATE TIME datatype. The DATE datatype contains both a date and a time component, down to the second. TIMESTAMPS get a bit more complicated.
If your dateWithTime column is indeed a DATE datatype, the ORDER BY dateWithTime ASC clause should order your results in ascending order.
You may not be displaying the time component of your date. You can convert a date to a string in that format with TO_CHAR( dateWithTime, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24/mm/ss' ) or whatever format you want.
Edit:
Oh, do you mean you want to find the cases where the date component of the DATE matches, but you don't care about the time component? That can be handled in the where clause with something like:
WHERE TRUNC( tab.dateWithTime ) = TRUNC( :sampledate )
TRUNC by default truncates a date to the beginning of the day.
Currently I'm storing it as a String, but got problems using it when it comes to querying by date with GQL.
Date date = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss, z");
String todayDate = formatter.format(date);
The query:
"SELECT FROM SomeTable p WHERE date = 01/01/2011"
Error:
Exception:
org.datanucleus.store.appengine.query.DatastoreQuery$UnsupportedDatastoreFeatureException:
Problem with query : Right side of expression is
composed of unsupported components.
Left:
org.datanucleus.query.expression.Literal,
Op: / , Right:

Literal{11}}
How can I search by date?
Always as a date - the database should check on the types of data that it stores thus making sure the data is what it says. the information about what type is known on the insert so check it then rather than later when none has any idea of what the correct value should have been.
the error you are getting is probably not due to this but because the date in the query needs to be made a date if types are correct or if a string needs to be as a single-quoted string see GQL Reference
e.g.
"SELECT FROM SomeTable p WHERE date = '01/01/2011'"
but what date is 06/07/2011 ? I think it is today 6th July, others 7th June. So even if you use strings use the ISO format 2011-07-06 A date type will hide this detail making it easier. Note that GQL only uses the ISO form so even if you got the command to have the date in a string it would fail.
but better as
SELECT FROM SomeTable p WHERE date = DATE( 2011, 1, 1)
