When I select the date 16-01-2021, this value comes to my input field. But when I look at the value received by the service, I get the value "{15.01.2021 21:00:00}". how can i fix this?

I'm looking to have my field show "dd-mmm-yy" when a date is not entered into the field, so members don't get confused and frustrated when they try to put in a date such as 11/12/20 and don't realize it needs to be in day day, month month month, year year format. Is this possible to do through the property sheet?
[date format]
You can set the Format property of the textbox to:
dd-mm-yyyy;;;"dd-mm-yyyy"
though I believe it will add more confusion than help.
Another method for speedy input of dates is shown in my article:

I'm trying to convert a epoch timecode to a date in Pentaho Spoon. I use an input text file to extract fields from. I want to export the fields in a database but there is this timestamp field that contains epoch timestamps like this "1480017396", the datatype is set as an integer and the field is named timestamp. I want to convert with it with Select value.
So I go to the next step and use the select value option to select the field and change the datatype to Date with a format of dd/MM/yyyy the result gives me all kinds of dates in 18-01-1970 range. I tried everything (Different formats etc.) but I just can't seem to solve it.
Any guesses? Image of output
The time in epoch is in miliseconds, not seconds, so, take your number, multiply by 1000, and turn to date.
See that if you divide, the date goes back a few ... and multiply it you get the correct date because of the timestamp.
I tried using Dateadd('n',13,{fieldname}).
but it throws an error not a valid date time field cause it is time field.
is there any way to convert it to datetime and add the value and revert it into time field?
Thanks.
Try this formula:
DateAdd('n',13,DateTime(CurrentDate, {fieldname}))
The DateTime(date, time) function will create a DateTime value that works in the DateAdd() function. This will only work if the {fieldname} is a Time data type though.
If {fieldname} is a string, you will need to convert it to a Time data type first using the Time(time) function.
The formula I suggested above will append your time value to today's date. You will then need to format the DateTime value it returns to only display the time value. This can be done by right clicking the field in your crystal report and clicking Format Field and setting the Style on the Date and Time tab.
I need to add a integer field to the date field then output value should be in date format.
For Eg: frequency is integer field and certdate is date field i wrote a Set Value action in which I need to set the summation of both values to the Nextdate field(Date) and i am using db2.
If having a Value of :certdate + :frequency and a Parameter/Attribute of NEXTDATE isn't working for you, you'll need to revert to an automation script or Java class that uses the Date and Calendar classes to do what you want.
I'm attempting to make the parameters for a Crystal Report more user-friendly for a client, who has requested that they be able to have the default values for a Start and End date parameter be the first and last day of the previous month.
I know how to use either a formula in CR or a stored procedure to produce these values, but I want to know if a variable can be used in the 'Default Value' setting for a parameter, or if it only allows for static entries. Does anyone know? Right now the user can set the date parameters to null and the stored procedure generates the data for the previous month on its own, but I thought it'd be nice if the date parameters actually displayed the dates that were being used as defaults. Thanks in advance!
You can do it, Try below process:
Create a parameter ?date with String datatype and take static and write two default strings as below:
First day of previous month
Last day of Previous month
Now go to record selection formula and write below code:
if ({?date}="First day of previous month") then
table.date=DateSerial(year(currentdate),Month(Currentdate)-1,1)
else if ({?date}="Last day of previous month")
then
table.date=Cdate(DateAdd("d",-1,DateSerial(year(currentdate),Month(Currentdate),1)))
