I have a create with filter oEntry:
oEntry.Budat = new Date();
oDataModel.create('/DeliveryCompleteSet', oEntry, null, function(oData){
MessageToast.show(oData.Text,{
duration: 5000,
width: "100em",
});
oEntry contains one date field and it gives me an error "invalid date" when I execute the create. What format does the field have to be?
Check here
Edm.DateTime Represents date and time with values ranging from 12:00:00 midnight, January 1, 1753 A.D. through 11:59:59 P.M, December

I have converted a Date into DateTime format, and it is returning me the hour format in 00:00:00 but I want it to be in 23:59:59
Date startDate = Date.newInstance(2021,2,1);
This returns the output as 2021-02-01 00:00:00
When I try to convert this to the 23:59:59 hour format by using the below code
DateTime startDateConvertTwo = DateTime.newInstance(startDate, Time.newInstance(23, 59, 59, 0));
It is pushing the date to next day and returning the value of 2021-02-02 07:59:59
I tried to sort this out by changing the values of Time.newInstance by adding it as Time.newInstance(15, 59, 59, 0) by doing which I get the expected result. But is it the right way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Please let me know if there are any other ways.
The returned output of Date startDate = Date.newInstance(2021,2,1); is not 2021-02-01 00:00:00. It's just a date with no information about time, but System.debug() display it as a DateTime, that's why you see 00:00:00.
Try System.debug(String.valueOf(startDate)); to see only the Date part.
DateTime.newInstance(date, time)
Constructs a DateTime from the specified date and time in the local time zone.
As documentation states, the DateTime you get is in your own time zone. Anyway System.debug() shows it in UTC time zone (GMT+0), so if your time zone is GMT-8 you'll see 2021-02-02 07:59:59.
System.debug(String.valueOf(startDateConvertTwo )); will shows the DateTime in your own time zone, so you'll see 2021-02-01 23:59:59.
If you need a DateTime in GMT you could use DateTime.newInstanceGmt(date, time):
DateTime startDateGMT = DateTime.newInstanceGmt(startDate, Time.newInstance(23, 59, 59, 0));
If you cannot use that method, you could add your offset to a DateTime:
public static DateTime toUTC(DateTime value) {
Integer offset = UserInfo.getTimezone().getOffset(value);
return value.addSeconds(offset/1000);
}
You could test it in anonymous console:
Date startDate = Date.newInstance(2021,2,1);
DateTime startDateConvertTwo = DateTime.newInstance(startDate, Time.newInstance(23, 59, 59, 0));
DateTime startDateGMT = DateTime.newInstanceGmt(startDate, Time.newInstance(23, 59, 59, 0));
DateTime startDateGMT2 = toUTC(startDateConvertTwo);
System.debug('startDateConvertTwo: ' + startDateConvertTwo); // startDateConvertTwo: 2021-02-01 22:59:59 // Because I'm at GMT+1
System.debug('String.valueOf(startDateConvertTwo): ' + String.valueOf(startDateConvertTwo)); // String.valueOf(startDateConvertTwo): 2021-02-01 23:59:59
System.debug('startDateGMT: ' + startDateGMT); // startDateGMT: 2021-02-01 23:59:59 // Now it's in UTC
System.debug('String.valueOf(startDateGMT): ' + String.valueOf(startDateGMT)); // String.valueOf(startDateGMT): 2021-02-02 00:59:59 // So in my locale time it's the day after,
System.debug('startDateGMT2: ' + startDateGMT2); // startDateGMT2: 2021-02-01 23:59:59 // Same as startDateGMT
System.debug('String.valueOf(startDateGMT2): ' + String.valueOf(startDateGMT2)); // String.valueOf(startDateGMT2): 2021-02-02 00:59:59
public static DateTime toUTC(DateTime value) {
Integer offset = UserInfo.getTimezone().getOffset(value);
return value.addSeconds(offset/1000);
}
The output of startDateGMT and startDateGMT2 will be the same.
Noteworthy: DateTime fields are stored in GMT. When shown in the standard Salesforce UI, they're converted to the user's timezone.
In my google sheet I have a column with dates but its in a text format. here an example what I have:
Oct 01, 2021
Dec 25, 2020
...
...
I want to convert it to a date format
01/10/2021
25/12/2020
....
I need to find the number of days from the dates in this column, by using "date in column" - now(). This does not work with the format "Oct 01, 2021" since its a text, and I am getting an error from Googlesheet.
Thanks in advance
IS
Try this formula in F2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(DATEDIF(
DATE(
RIGHT(E2:E,4),
MATCH(LEFT(E2:E,3),{"Jan";"Feb";"Mar";"Apr";"May";"Jun";"Jul";"Aug";"Sep";"Oct";"Nov";"Dec"},0),
MID(E2:E,5,2)),
NOW(), "D")))
Update
Revised the formula, which goes in F1 and fills the column, to:
={"Days Left";ARRAYFORMULA(
IFERROR(-1 * DATEDIF( DATE( RIGHT(E2:E,4), MATCH(LEFT(E2:E,3),{"Jan";"Feb";"Mar";"Apr";"May";"Jun";"Jul";"Aug";"Sep";"Oct";"Nov";"Dec"},0), MID(E2:E,5,2)), NOW(), "D"),
IFERROR(DATEDIF( NOW(),DATE( RIGHT(E2:E,4), MATCH(LEFT(E2:E,3),{"Jan";"Feb";"Mar";"Apr";"May";"Jun";"Jul";"Aug";"Sep";"Oct";"Nov";"Dec"},0), MID(E2:E,5,2)), "D"))))}
which reverses the date difference values. It also handles date differences for dates either in the future, or in the past.
Use the DATEVALUE() function on a date string, then use DATEDIF() to find the difference between two dates.
=DATEDIF(DATEVALUE("Oct 01, 2020"), DATEVALUE("Dec 25, 2020"), "D")
UPDATE: To find the date between today and a date string in another cell use this example:
=DATEDIF(DATEVALUE(A2), NOW(), "D")
If cell A2 contains string Oct 01, 2020, it will return 70 for today 2020-12-10
I have a spreadsheet that asks people to enter in a day of the month when we need to send out a bill. What I want to do is create a calendar event based on that. So, essentially what I need is an event that starts at the current month, day from the spreadsheet, and continues to a specified point in time.
var monthlyDate = row[6]; // Seventh column, monthly date of payment
var curDate = new Date();
var curMonth = curDate.getMonth();
var curYear = curDate.getYear();
curDate.setDate(curMonth, monthlyDate, curYear);
Logger.log("Day of month: %s", monthlyDate);
Logger.log("Current Date: %s", curDate);
Logger.log("Current Date: %s", Date());
What I'm seeing is that the monthly date is coming in as a float "6.0" for example, and no matter what I enter in for monthlyDate in the setDate line, it keeps setting the date to 10/9/15 (Today is 10/15/15). I've hard-coded that value to many different numbers, but for some reason it's just not working.
How can I create a date (in any format) that follows the scheme "Current Month / Day from Speadsheet / Current Year" ?
The getMonth() method returns a "zero-indexed" number. So, it returns the number 9 for the 10th month. setDate() doesn't set the date, it sets the "Day of the Month". The name of that method is misleading.
Documentation - setDate()
So, the last two parameters that you are using in setDate() are doing nothing. You are setting the day of the month to 9.
If you want to set multiple date parameters at the same time, you need to use the new Date() method:
var d = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
The month parameter accept values from 0 to 11, 0 is Jan and 11 is Dec
Date Reference
I have a custom list that I'm trying to restrict data entry for valid day of week and time.
My current column validation works for day of week being Monday, Wednesday or Friday. It looks like this:
=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY([Requested date for approval]),FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE)
I'm trying to figure out the syntax to add that it also has to be between 8 am and 12:00 pm on those days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You would use an AND statement to include a second criteria
=AND(CHOOSE(WEEKDAY([Requested date for approval]),FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE),
AND(
[Requested date for approval]-INT([Requested date for approval])*24 >= 8,
[Requested date for approval]-INT([Requested date for approval])*24 <= 24
)
)
I confess, I've never heard of the CHOOSE function, but the time calculation is based on the information at Microsoft
Convert times
To convert hours from the standard time format to a decimal number, use the INT
function.
Column1 Formula Description (possible result)
10:35 AM =([Column1]-INT([Column1]))*24 Number of hours since 12:00 AM (10.583333)
12:15 PM =([Column1]-INT([Column1]))*24 Number of hours since 12:00 AM (12.25)
EDIT
To calculate the day of the week, you can use the TEXT function to return the day of the week (i.e. Monday)
=TEXT(WEEKDAY([ColumnName]), "dddd")
It won't be pretty, but you can use a series of AND logical operators
=AND(
TEXT(WEEKDAY([Requested date for approval]), "dddd") = "Monday",
AND(
TEXT(WEEKDAY([Requested date for approval]), "dddd") = "Wednesday",
AND(
TEXT(WEEKDAY([Requested date for approval]), "dddd") = "Friday",
AND(
[Requested date for approval]-INT([Requested date for approval])*24 >= 8,
[Requested date for approval]-INT([Requested date for approval])*24 <= 24
)
)
)
)
Posting Working Solution
=IF(
AND(
CHOOSE(
WEEKDAY([Requested date for approval]),FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE
),
([Requested date for approval]-INT([Requested date for approval]))*24>=8,
([Requested date for approval]-INT([Requested date for approval]))*24<=12
),
TRUE
)
Please imagine the following:
I've this date in the Azores (GMT -1)
23/10/2010 23:00:00
And i want to convert this date to the following (the GMT +1)
24/10/2010 01:00:00
I want this behavior for any date in any timezone and the Date function with timezone give me the GMT -1 for this case.
Please note that i'm using JodaTime.
Thanks.
DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(2010, 10, 23, 23, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeZone.forOffsetHours(-1)); // (GMT -1) 23/10/2010 23:00:00
DateTime inAnotheTimeZone = dateTime.withZone(DateTimeZone.forOffsetHours(1));
