I have a list of 12 month names, let's say ['AAA', 'BBB', ...]. In reality, they are kind of historical, so not included in any typical locale.
Now I want them to be included into my DateFormat('yMMMMd') instead of the normal names. I am not able to build the date string manually like
var myDateStr = myMonthName + ' ' + myDay + ', ' + myYear; // US
var myDateStr = myDay + '. ' + myMonthName + ' ' + myYear; // DE
because I want to keep the format of the chosen locale nonetheless. The day/month/year order changes with the chosen locale, which I want to keep. I just want to replace the month name. A RegExp replace or similar is not easily possible, I guess, because of the different date formats and language specific month names.
Expected result:
For chosen US locale: AAA 1st, 2022
For chosen DE locale: 1. AAA 2022
of course, every other locale format must be supported...
Do you have any ideas?
Is it possible to just insert custom month names into DateFormat object?
I recently had an idea, which seems to work:
var dateStr = DateFormat('yMMMMd', myLocale).format(myDate);
var monthName = DateFormat('MMMM', myLocale).format(myDate);
return dateStr.replaceFirst(monthName, 'AAA');
// or
return dateStr.replaceFirst(monthName, myHistoricalNames[myDate.month - 1]);
First create the normal date string to receive the locale's date format.
Calculate another date string which only includes the locale's month name. Now I know the string which I need to replace in dateStr no matter which language I choose.
Replace the month name with my custom month name.

I have one date field in my table as char "01jan2017",
I want to convert the date field to this format "2018 / 01" and there should be space between forward slash.
Thanks
If what you're looking for is just for display then here is a character conversion
data r;
date = '01jan2017'd;
date1 = compbl(put(year(date),best.)|| " / "||put(month(date),z2.));
run;
There are three key steps you need to do:
catx(' / ',year(input(date_char,date9.)),put(month(input(date_char,date9.)),z2.));
Convert the date to date9. format in order to extract the year and month,
Use the z2. format for the month to get the leading Zero,
Use Catx() to concatinate the year , month & ' / '.
Full Code:
data want;
date_char="01jan2017";
dateYYMM=catx(' / ',year(input(date_char,date9.)),put(month(input(date_char,date9.)),z2.));
run;
Output:
date_char=01jan2017 dateYYMM=2017 / 01
I combine two columns; date and time. When I pass the date and time hot coded it works fine but when I pass it through a column it throws the error:
Unparseable date: "05/05/1992"
I already tried this:
MaterialCodeCSV.xdate == null ?
TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", TalendDate.getDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")) :
TalendDate.parseDateLocale("yyyy/mm/dd HH:mm:ss",MaterialCodeCSV.xdate.toString() + MaterialCodeCSV.xtime.toString(),"EN");
Java code in Talend:
Date handling can be a bit tricky if using wrong data types. I assume you want to fill a field which is a Date. There are several errors with this way:
MaterialCodeCSV.xdate == null ?
TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", TalendDate.getDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")) :
TalendDate.parseDateLocale("yyyy/mm/dd H:mm:ss",MaterialCodeCSV.xdate.toString()+ MaterialCodeCSV.xtime.toString(),"EN");
If MaterialCodeCSV.xdate == null you create a date and parse it again instantly? That seems unneccessary complex and inefficient. Change this to TalendDate.getCurrentDate()
Then if xdate is not null, you just concat xdate and xtime, use toString() and try to parse this. Again, this seems unneccesary complex. If I just assume now and xdate and xtime are already Date fields, you could write it as this: MaterialCodeCSV.xdate + MaterialCodeCSV.xtime.
If both are String fields, you have to make sure that xdate is formatted yyyy/MM/dd and xtime is HH:mm:ss. Then you could exclude .toString()
Also, if both are String fields, you have to add an additional space: MaterialCodeCSV.xdate + ' ' + MaterialCodeCSV.xtime
Additionally, in the first case you parse with yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss. In the second case you parse with yyyy/mm/dd H:mm:ss. This reads "year/minute/day". Also there is only one hour digit, not allowing anything after 9:59:59 o'clock to be parsed. Correctly you should use yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.
So to conclude it should look like this (if I assume correctly and you are using correctly formatted String fields for xdate and xtime):
MaterialCodeCSV.xdate == null ?
TalendDate.getCurrentDate() :
TalendDate.parseDateLocale("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss", MaterialCodeCSV.xdate + ' ' + MaterialCodeCSV.xtime,"EN");
Hi I am creating a table in MS Access to store the details of children in a school.
I have a field called YearGroup which needs to calculate the school year they are in based on their date of birth and whether they have been moved up or down a year.
I.e. if the expression deems they are six years old they should be placed in year 2. If they were moved down or up a year they should be in year 1 or 3 (this is based on another field in the table called YearModifier).
The code I have at the moment is this:
Year(Now()) - IIf(Month([DOB]) > 8, Year([DOB]) + 6 + [YearModifier], Year([DOB]) + 5 + [YearModifier])
My problem is that Year(Now()) is returning as invalid expression. Lots of websites have recognised using the Now() function and also I've tried Date() but nothing seems to be accepted by Access (The version is 2010).
What is going on? How can I get today's date in a calculated field expression?
Thanks
Try creating a query with all of the fields from your table, and then add an extra field YearGroup: Year(Now()) - IIf(Month([DOB]) > 8, Year([DOB]) + 6 + [YearModifier], Year([DOB]) + 5 + [YearModifier])
It appears that Date functions can't be used in calculated columns in tables.
You could use this to get the year, which might work in field expressions:
format(date(),"yyyy")
About your function (which I have re-written very slightly)
Year( Now() )
- Year([DOB])
- IIf( Month([DOB]) > 8
, 6
, 5 )
+ [YearModifier]
however!
I don't think you want to use now(). Which year they are in depend on their age at the 1st Sept at the start of the current academic year not now! Ok now will work until 31/dec/2015, so I must assume you will not be using the function after this date!
If you are you must use 2015 not Now().
Ok?
You can calculate the age of the children with a simple function:
Public Function AgeSimple( _
ByVal datDateOfBirth As Date) _
As Integer
' Returns the difference in full years from datDateOfBirth to current date.
'
' Calculates correctly for:
' leap years
' dates of 29. February
' date/time values with embedded time values
'
' DateAdd() is used for check for month end of February as it correctly
' returns Feb. 28. when adding a count of years to dates of Feb. 29.
' when the resulting year is a common year.
' After an idea of Markus G. Fischer.

Dim datToday As Date
Dim intAge As Integer
Dim intYears As Integer
datToday = Date
' Find difference in calendar years.
intYears = DateDiff("yyyy", datDateOfBirth, datToday)
If intYears > 0 Then
' Decrease by 1 if current date is earlier than birthday of current year
' using DateDiff to ignore a time portion of datDateOfBirth.
intAge = intYears - Abs(DateDiff("d", datToday, DateAdd("yyyy", intYears, datDateOfBirth)) > 0)
End If
AgeSimple = intAge
End Function
Then your expression would be something like this (ignoring the modifier):
ClassYear: IIf(AgeSimple([DOB]) > 6, 2, 1)
I have an Access 2013 form which has two unbound date fields, FromDate and ToDate. I insert these into a table (TblGuestBooking) which has an autonumber key field, so this doesn't feature in the SQL statement to follow.
If the FromDate and ToDate are in the same month, the dates are entered as dd/mm/yy, the format of the form field. If, however, the From date is in one month and the to date is in the next month or later month, the format changes to mm/dd/yy for the subsequent months.
for example 26/2/14 to 3/3/14 results in the following table entries:
26/02/14,
27/02/14,
28/02/14,
03/01/14,
03/02/14,
03/03/14
This is the code snippet I am using to put the dates into the table (BookingID is obtained from the form.)
Dim BookingDate As Date
Dim SQLString As String
....
BookingDate = FromDate
Do
SQLString = "INSERT INTO TblGuestBooking ([BookingDate], [BookingID]) VALUES (#" & BookingDate & "#" & "," & Me.GuestSuiteBookingID & ")"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL SQLString
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
BookingDate = BookingDate + 1
Loop Until BookingDate = ToDate + 1
If you've read this far, thank you for your time. If you can help me out, many, many thanks.
When processing date literals (text values enclosed by "hash marks" #) Access SQL will always interpret ambiguous xx-yy-zzzz dates as mm-dd-yyyy, regardless of the regional setting in place on the computer. So, if your machine is configured to display short dates as dd-mm-yyyy and you create an Access query that uses #04-02-2014# it will always be interpreted as April 2, not February 4.
The solution is to always format date literals as unambiguous yyyy-mm-dd values. In your case, instead of
... VALUES (#" & BookingDate & "#" ...
you would use something like
... VALUES (#" & Format(BookingDate, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "#" ...
In my case I've used following code for an ASP page that create and update a Date field in Access database.
strDay = Request("Day")
strMonth = Request("Month")
strYear = Request("Year")
InputDate = strYear & "-" & strMonth & "-" & strDay
if IsDate(InputDate) Then
InsertDate = CDate(InputDate)
else
'if date typed wrong, use Todays Date
InsertDate = Date()
end if
SQLUPD = "UPDATE MyDataBase SET DateField = '"& FormatDateTime(InsertDate, vbShortDate) &"'"
SQLINS = "INSERT INTO MyDataBase (DateField, Alist, Atype, Acomment) VALUES ('"& FormatDateTime(InsertDate, vbShortDate) &"', .....
Then all sorting and output opration with dates are going well.
I have a table with a YearMonth column (201302) in it.
I created YearMonth a parameter.
Now I would like to write an expression in SSRS so that every time the report runs the date and month would look like this Feb-2013.
Could you please suggest me why following expression did not work.
Thanks
=CStr(Right(MonthName(Month(Parameters!NLR_YearMonth.Value)),3))
+ "-" +
Left(Year(Parameters!NLR_YearMonth.Value),4)
Try This:
=Format(DateValue(MonthName(Right(Parameters!NLR_YearMonth.Value, 2))
+ "," +
Left(Parameters!NLR_YearMonth.Value,4)), "Y")
The expression goes as follows:
Cutting the string to get the month.
Converting the mount to MountName
Creating a comma seperator between the month and the year
Cutting the string to get the year
Converting the returns string to Date object using the DateValue function
Formatting the Date to fits your needs
The results should be:
February, 2013
