I would like to convert a Date on an image to a Date type in Swift to store that data. I thought that I could use NSDataDetector for doing this, because I don't know the exact format which will occur on the image.
I had for example this Date: 01.08.2022 with the format: dd.mm.yyyy but if I use the NSDataDetector it was interpreted with the format mm.dd.yyyy
Is it possible to change that behavior so that the usual order of the numbers for the days and months for the region is used for interpretation?
Thanks for an answer

In LibreOffice, I wish to change the weekdays names to have something shorter.
In French, the date format "ddd dd/mm/yy" applied to today 2021-08-17 gives : "mar. 17/08/21". I would prefer "ma 17/08/21" to have narrower columns.
So I wish to change the existing weekdays names "lun., mar., mer., jeu., even., sam., dim." to something shorter : "lu, ma, me, je, ve, sa, di", through the format used by LibreOffice.
I played with French locales (Swiss French, etc.) but it is not satisfactory. I tried to change the list for the sort but it has no effect on the date format.
Is it possible to change the list LibreOffice uses for the weekdays ? How shall I proceed ?
You cannot do this with normal formatting (unless you require a change to the national date standard).
However, you can easily get the desired date representation using the TEXTE() and REGEX() functions.
=REGEX(TEXT(A1;"OOO JJ/MM/AA");"(..)([^\.]*\.)(.+)";"$1$3";"g")
Or shorter notation using LEFT() (GAUCHE()):
=LEFT(TEXT(A1;"OOO");2)&TEXT(A1;"\ JJ/MM/AA")
Remember to check that the cell format is French, otherwise you will get an error (not every language uses O-J-A characters)
I am trying to pull some data from Twitter, and the date format is "YYYY-mm-DDTHH:MM". What does T mean in "YYYY-mm-DDTHH:MM"?
The T isn't substituted for a value, it's a character used in the output to designate that the second part is a Time.
For example: 2021-04-20T13:03
The format is part of the ISO 8601 international standard.
I have default parameter and this parameter shows me 7 days ago with the expression below:
=DateAdd("d",-7,CDate(Format(Today(), "MM/dd/yyyy")))
But my report just running without error while the customer using "MM/dd/yyyy" time format.
Is there a way to use this parameter ALSO with "dd/MM/yyyy" format?
I would like to set a parameter to show 7 days ago but ı would like to use this parameter with both time format.
Thanks
Don't use the Format. Just put =DateAdd("d",-7,Today()). It will automatically take the Format according to System's format.
Firstly, the format part of your expression is redundant and misleading - don't use it
=DateAdd("d",-7,Today())
Secondly, you don't have any choice of how SSRS displays it's datepickers. It shows american format only (M/d/Y)
A date is a value and values do not have a format. A date is displayed and has to be entered in a format that depends on the language settings of your browser. Using a date picker, you even don't have to care about the input format. So, just use an expression that calculates the desired value:
=Today.AddDays(-7)
As an absolute beginner to SAS I quickly ran into problems with date formatting.
I have a dataset containing transaction with three types of dates: BUSDATE, SPOTDATE, MATURITY. Each transaction is represented on two lines, and I want BUSDATE and SPOTDATE from line 1 but MATURITY from line 2.
In the original set, the dates are in YYYY-MM-DD format.
DATA masterdata;
SET sourcedata(rename(BUSDATE=BUSDATE2 SPOTDATE=SPOTDATE2 MATURITY=MATURITY2));
BUSDATE=BUSDATE2;
SPOTDATE=SPOTDATE2;
IF TRANS_TYPE='Swap' THEN;
MATURITY=SPOTDATE;
RUN;
Problem is, this returns something like 17169 (which I guess is the number of days from a certain date).
How can I make it output in YYYY-MM-DD format - or is this approach wrong; should I first convert the date variables to some SAS date format?
if you have valid SAS dates, just add a FORMAT statement to your DATA STEP.
Format busdate spotdate maturity yymmdd10. ;
SAS dates are numeric variables. They represent the number of days since 1/1/1960. You use a FORMAT to display dates.
Adding to CarolinaJay's answer, you normally want to keep them as numeric format, since you can do math (like "# of days since date X") with them. However, if for some reason you need a character variable, you can do this:
date_As_char=put(datevar,YYMMDD10.);
Incidentally, YYMMDD10 will actually give you YYYY-MM-DD, as you asked for; if you want a different separator, see http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000589916.htm (YYMMDDxw. format) - if you put a letter after the last D, for certain letters, you get a different separator. Like, YYMMDDn10. gives you no separator, or YYMMDDs10. gives you slashes. YYMMDDd10. gives you dashes, just like omitting the letter would. This concept also applies to MMDDYY formats, and I think a few others.
I've been playing with MIT AppInventor and attempted to calculate a duration between two dates.
I take date values from two text fields. Clock.MakeInstant says it's only able to accept dates in MM/DD/YYYY format so I was careful to do that. Still, when I attempt to feed them into MakeInstant it always pops the same message about being able to only accept MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss or MM/DD/YYYY or hh:mm. I printed entered text values before passing them to MakeInstant to confirm that they are not somehow corrupted and they are fine -- each just a date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
I have no idea what else to try. As far as I can tell I followed the instructions to the letter. Any examples on how to pass a date as text to Clock.MakeInstant?
