I have this list of date. i need to select only any future date from the list without csv. how can i do this?

Option 1: HTML Link Parser - see Poll Example
Option 2: Combination of XPath Extractor and __Random() function
You can use ${__time(dd,)} to get current date. This date will be in String format. Lets store this to variable name date
Convert this date in number with java script function parseInt in BSF pre processor. Lets store this to variable name date_int
Now with random function ${__Random(${date_int},30,)}, you will get random number between current date and 30th of the month.
Use this random number for selecting index of your date list.
code is here
This is working here.
I have putted the myDay,myMonth,myYear variables as parameter.

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 want to create a monthly package that executes a daily query at ODBC and writes an output file.
More specifically the query must be first executed for the first day of the previous month (e.g. '01/11/2018') then the next one ('02/11/2018') until the last day of the previous month ('30/11/2018').
The date variables are currently saved as Strings and I also want to have a string variable with Oracle date format to be inserted into the query. How should it be organised? Is there a way that I could use the string variables in the expressions?
Break it into parts as follows:
Declare variables to store previous month start and end date as follows:
start_date(datetime) = (DT_DATE)((DT_WSTR,4)YEAR(DATEADD("MM",-1,GETDATE()))+"-"+RIGHT("0"+(DT_WSTR,2)MONTH(DATEADD("MM",-1,GETDATE())),2)+"-01")
end_date(datetime) = DATEADD("D", -(DAY(GETDATE())),GETDATE())
Declare variable Counter(datetime)
Create a For loop container as follows :
Rest of the Data Flow Task should be there within For loop container, which will create output file. You can use the variable Counter in SQL to parameterize it
In fact, I figured out that all I wanted to use in my loop was the daypart of the date, so I created two extra int variables that contains:
1) the first day of the month (1)
2) the last day of the month (28,30,31)
I used those two variables at the For Loop Expressions and convert the index to string, so I could add it in the query. Possibly there will be a better way and it would be welcome.
I have a spreadsheet that has a column with date formatted data (see here).
However, when i get the values with (sheet previously defined):
var array = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
and i try to get dates from the dates column,
var date = array[somerow][Column_dates];
i got a number like: 42905.15239780092 (for first row with date, that is supposed to be a today date).
But if i use (new Date()).getTime() i got something like: 1497907218972.
Both are completely different....?
What i would like to do is compare both dates....
What's wrong?
Regards,
Someone else will probably be able to provide a better explanation but I think:
The number 42905.15239780092 is a date time format.
The number 1497907218972 is a time format.

i found a workaroud, that is using getDisplayValues() instead of getValues() to get the array. This give me a date string on the column with dates that it is easier to work with...
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)))
I have imported some data into SAS from some Excel spreadsheets sent to me. When I view the output from the imported table, the date appears as "01APR2014" and maintains chronological order. When I view the column properties the type is "Date" and the length is 8. Both the format and informat are DATE9.
I need to be able to convert this date to week-year and month-year, but no matter what I try I always get Jan, 1960.
Using proc sql, I used the below to get the week-year,
"(put(datepart(a.fnlz_date),weeku3.))|| "-" ||(put(datepart(a.fnlz_date),year.)) as FNLZD_WK_YR,"
but all I got was "W00-1960". I've used the formula above successfully many times before with SAS datetime values.
For month-yr, using proc sql, I tried
"datepart(a.fnlz_date) as DT_FNLZD format=monyy.,"
but the only value returned is "JAN60".
I also tried using SUBSTR, but got an error saying it requires a character argument, so SAS must see it as a number at least.
My question; does anyone know a way to get the week-yr and/or month-yr from this format? If so, how? I'm not opposed to using a data step, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight provided.
datepart converts datetimes to dates. Not helpful here.
If you're just displaying this, then you have a few options, particularly for month. You can just change the format of the variable (This changes what's displayed, but not the underlying value; consider this a value label).
When you use this like this (again, it looks like you got most of the way there):
proc sql;
select datevar format=monyy5. from table;
quit;
Just don't include that datepart function call as that's not appropriate unless you have a datetime. (Date=# of days since 1/1/1960, Datetime = # of seconds since 1/1/1960:00:00:00).
That will display it with MONYY5. format, which would be MAY10 for May, 2010. You have some other format options, see the documentation on formats by category for more details.
I can't think of a Week format that matches what you want (there are week formats, like WEEKW., as you clearly found, but I don't know that they do exactly what you want. So, if you want to build one yourself, you can either build a custom picture format, or you can make a string.
Building a custom picture format isn't too hard; see the documentation on Picture formats or google SAS Date Picture Format.
proc format;
picture weekyear (default=8)
low-high = 'W%0U-%Y' (datatype=date) ;
quit;
Now you can use that as a normal format.
To get at the week/etc. to build values, you can also use functions week(), month(), etc., if that's easier.
Since the data was already in a date format, I only needed to drop the DATEPART function that only works with datetime values. So, for month-yr,
"a.fnlz_date as fnlz_mnth format=monyy.,"
gives me the results I'm looking for.
Cheers!
