The Clio APIV4 documentation is not very clear to me on what is expected for creating a date range filter for the open_date field in a call to matters.json.
Can someone give me some guidance on what is expected for the filter for something like a range of all matters opened between 1/1/2019 and 1/15/2019? I also don't see if the dates are expected an ISO-8601 timestamp or not.
In case someone else has this issue - I received this from Clio support:
*An example of a request for your Matters data where the Open Date lies between 01/01/2019 and 01/08/2019 would be as follows:
app.clio.com/api/v4/matters?fields=&open_date[]=>2019-01-01&open_date[]=<2019-08-01
As you can probably tell from that example, the dates you are filtering for do not need to be a timestamp. It can just be a date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD.*

I explored all the functions available in the transformer, but I couldn't find the exact function to get the last day of the previous month in standard format, i.e. dd/mm/yyyy. Please help me in this regard.
The field that needs to appear is in the COL_C field.
enter image description here
inside it I can't put anything that returns me this result
You can use DateOffsetByComponents to substract the current day.
Cut out the day part from your date and substract it with above function.
i.e. 16/12/2022 - 16 = 30/11/2022
I am using the Twilio log file to crunch some data and need to convert the Twilio format for dates into something that Google Sheets can recognize as a date so I can then extract what week of the month the date is referring to. Also would be helpful to get the syntax that converts the Twilio date to a recognizable date for Googlesheets in case there are other things I need to do with the date field.
Currently, this is the format in the log file: "2019-08-22 06:12:58 MDT"
I'm using this =text(index(split(I2," "),,1),"mmmm") to determine the month and am struggling to have this now be able to work with the WEEKNUM function of Googlesheets to get the number of the week the date is from. I've tried =DATE(index(split(I2," "),,1),"mmmm"), =WEEKNUM(index(split(I2," "),,1),"mmmm") but am terrible with the formula syntax and can't fix the date value.
=DATE(index(split(I2," "),,1),"mmmm")
I expect to see a value from 1-5.
The text() part of the formula is turning the date input into text. And so you can't use it to calculate the weeknum().
=weeknum(index(split(I2," "),,1)) will get you closer. But it will give you the week of the year.
You may want to see this for a way to get to week of the month from week in the year.
Tableau is reading my dates wrong. I have 2 columns, Date and number for each day.
The date format is “yyyymmdd” i.e. (20160617) and per day number is integer. I am fetching this data directly from SQL server and my problem is, tableau is reading my dates wrong.
So I tried DATEPARSE() to convert my date.
My DATEPARSE function is : DATEPARSE(“yyyymmdd”,”Date”) , now after using DATEPARSE function, I get NULL for my dates.
Can anyone please help me why I get NULL for dates, my query returns 30-day data which is divided into per day count.
Sample after running the query on SQL
Date Per day number
20160617 215674
Tableau does not accept this date format and I applied DateParse(), which I guess is returning string since my date is null. I would ideally like to get the correct date so I can apply a trend line on my data.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
You aren't using DateParse() correctly. The second parameter, which you have as "Date", should be the name of the field you want parsed. So for example, if you store 20160617 in a field called my_date_as_integer, your function should be DateParse("yyyymmdd", [my_date_as_integer])
I have a decimal date field (TDDATR) that is in the YYYYMMDD format.
I would like to create a field that is TDDATR + 30 days but I am unable to.
Using 'Define Results Field' I have tried a few things;
Simply doing this;
TDDATR + 30 DAYS
But it returned this error: Labeled duration not used correctly.
I tried using the DIGITS and SUBSTR commands to create a field in the DDMMYYYY format and then +30 days but got the same error.
Same as above but in the DD/MM/YYYY format - same error.
Using DATE(TDDATR) but all I see is +'s in the field.
Using DATE( ) on the fields created in step 2 and 3 - still get +'s
I've ran out of ideas - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Query/400 lacks a lot of the features that an SQL based interface has.
I'd urge you to consider switching to Query Manager (STRQM) which is a fully SQL based product. You can even convert Query/400 queries to Query Manager queries with the RTVQMQRY command by having the ALWQRYDFN parm set to *YES.
The other option that IBM is pushing is Web Query. Again, fully SQL based and you can convert Query/400 queries into it.
Having said that, the problem is that FLD + 30 DAYS only works when FLD is a DATE data type. Query/400 includes a DATE() function to convert non-date types into date. But it's very limited in that it only works with character fields formatted according to your job defaults. Assuming you're in the US, it'd only work with a character value of '07/01/15'.
You could do a lot of manipulation in Query/400 and end up with a result field that meets DATE()'s requirements. But a better solution would be to create an SQL view over your table and have your numeric date converted into a date data type in the view.
You can find code examples that show how to convert a numeric YYYYMMDD to a actual date data type in the view. However, I'd recommend create a user defined function (UDF) that will do the conversion for you. That will make it much easier to use in the view and to reuse in other places.
If you'd like, there's an open source package called iDate, that includes all the code required for convert to/from date data types.
Download that, install/compile it and your SQL view becomes
select ... idate(TDDATR,'*CCYMD') as TD_DATE
from myfile
The use of days is as follow
Field Expression
CURDATE_30 days(current(date)) + 30
The solution to your problem is: given the field A dec(8,0)
Field Expression
YYYYMMDD_ date(substr(digits(a),5,2)||'/'||
substr(digits(a),7,2)||'/'||
substr(digits(a),3,2))
NEXT_MONTH DAYS(YYYYMMDD_) + 30
Remember to check the date format in your job description. In the example the format is MDY or MM/DD/YY.
More info here
Based on the information here, I created the below 2 fields;
TDDIGI DIGITS(TDDATR)
TDDAT1 SUBSTR(TDDIGI,7,2)||'/'||
SUBSTR(TDDIGI,5,2)||'/'||
SUBSTR(TDDIGI,3,2)
From here I was able to create a date field;
TDDAT2 DATE(TDDAT1)
Which allowed me to perform the necessary calculations.
The format of TDDAT1 is based on your job description which can be found by;
WRKJOB
Option 2

Date format..: X
Mine was *DMY, so TDDAT1 was formatted based on this.
I want to calculate the number of days passed between past date and a current date. My past date is in the format dd/mm/yyyy format. I have used below mentioned formulas but giving the proper output.
=DAYS360(A2,TODAY())
=MINUS(D2,TODAY())
In the above formula A2 = 4/12/2012 (dd/mm/yyyy) and I am not sure whether TODAY returns in dd/mm/yyyy format or not. I have tried using 123 button on the tool bar, but no luck.
The following seemed to work well for me:
=DATEDIF(B2, Today(), "D")
DAYS360 does not calculate what you want, i.e. the number of days passed between the two dates – see the end of this post for details.
MINUS() should work fine, just not how you tried but the other way round:
=MINUS(TODAY(),D2)
You may also use simple subtraction (-):
=TODAY()-D2
I made an updated copy of #DrCord’s sample spreadsheet to illustrate this.
Are you SURE you want DAYS360? That is a specialized function used in the
financial sector to simplify calculations for bonds. It assumes a 360 day
year, with 12 months of 30 days each. If you really want actual days, you'll
lose 6 days each year.

Since this is the top Google answer for this, and it was way easier than I expected, here is the simple answer. Just subtract date1 from date2.
If this is your spreadsheet dates
A B
1 10/11/2017 12/1/2017
=(B1)-(A1)
results in 51, which is the number of days between a past date and a current date in Google spreadsheet
As long as it is a date format Google Sheets recognizes, you can directly subtract them and it will be correct.
To do it for a current date, just use the =TODAY() function.
=TODAY()-A1
While today works great, you can't use a date directly in the formula, you should referencing a cell that contains a date.
=(12/1/2017)-(10/1/2017) results in 0.0009915716411, not 61.
I used your idea, and found the difference and then just divided by 365 days. Worked a treat.
=MINUS(F2,TODAY())/365
Then I shifted my cell properties to not display decimals.
If you are using the two formulas at the same time, it will not work...
Here is a simple spreadsheet with it working:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiOy0YDBXjt4dDJSQWg1Qlp6TEw5SzNqZENGOWgwbGc
If you are still getting problems I would need to know what type of erroneous result you are getting.
Today() returns a numeric integer value: Returns the current computer system date. The value is updated when your document recalculates. TODAY is a function without arguments.
The following worked for me. Kindly note that TODAY() must NOT be the first argument in the function otherwise it will not work.
=DATEDIF( W2, TODAY(), "d")
Today() does return value in DATE format.
Select your "Days left field" and paste this formula in the field
=DAYS360(today(),C2)
Go to Format > Number > More formats >Custom number format and select the number with no decimal numbers.
I tested, it works, at least in new version of Sheets, March 2015.
