I have time data that is currently a string in the format of hours:minutes:seconds. For example, I want to be able to convert the string 00:03:30 to 210 seconds. I'd like this to be created in a calculated field for total seconds, thanks.
Utilizing the DATEPARSE function, you can use the following expression:
datediff("second", dateparse("HH:mm:ss", "00:00:00"), dateparse("HH:mm:ss", "00:03:30"))
Replace "00:03:30" with your field.

enter image description hereI accessed the timestamp from firestore and printed it as an string but it's not showing in date format! I'm not being able to print timestamp inside Text widget without converting it into string fromat either.
If you don't want to use Firestore function, than the easiest way to convert a timestamp to a JavaScript date or as you said string is like this:
new Date(timestamp.seconds * 1000).toLocaleDateString()
The timestamp is an object with seconds and nanoseconds, you create an date instance, pass the timestamp seconds and multiply with 1000. Now you can format this as you want.
I need help to convert Numbers into date format using Power Query Editor in either Excel or PowerBI
The date appears in number form like this 930101 and I want to convert it to normal Uk date format
Not sure which one is month and which one is date among "0101" in your string. But you can handle this your self and follow this below steps for get your required output in Power Query Editor-
First, split your string value using fixed 2 character and your data will be divide into 3 column now. define which one is Year, Month and Day.
Now, merge those 3 column maintain the UK pattern DD/MM/YY using a separator "/" and you will get a string like "01/01/93".
Finally, create a custom column using the below code-
Date.From([Merged],"en-GB")
Here is the final output-
In the above image, you can see the date in still US format just because of my Laptop's locally setup.
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 want to change a date format in SAS to another date informat using the query builder.
I thought it should be as simple as:
INPUT(t1.In_date, MMDDYY10.)
But this returns the following error:
ERROR: INPUT function requires a character argument.
So I played about with it & tried a few things for example:
INPUT("t1.In_date", MMDDYY10.)
This doesn't create an error message but only produces blanks.
I've googled the error message but I can't see a way to solve this problem using the query builder.
The informat of t1.In_date is DATETIME18.
If anyone has any suggestion I would be grateful.
You've got a few problems here.
First, informat is the wrong terminology. Your date variables are dates (numbers) with formats; so, you want to change their format. informat is converting a text string to a number; format is changing how a number (or text string) is displayed.
Second, you have a datetime. Datetimes are stored as the number of seconds from 1/1/1960, while Dates are the number of days. That means that they will be not compatible format-wise. You have to use datepart to convert a datetime to a date (basically, this means dividing by 86400).
So, what you want to do:
put(datepart(t1.in_date),mmddyy10.)
Is there any way convert text to time type?
Code in postgresql as below:
to_char(localtimestamp(0),'HH24:mi:SS')
this way I will get the value like 15:15:20,but this type is varchar(or text).
How can I do to get the value in time type?
Thanks!
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('15:15:20', 'HH24:MI:SS')::TIME
Note that your very query (which returns local time) can be rewritten as
SELECT LOCALTIME
which would return TIME
