With the help of "stackoverflow" and it's users I'm using an app to import data into a Google spreadsheet. The problem is I have a date question on the form, and can not manage to import it. If I change the format (in the forms) to text, the data imports as it has been sent from the app, but when I change it back to date, nothing.
I've believe I've tried all the usual date formats (dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, yyyy/mm/dd, yyyy/dd/mm) as well as yy for the above and also numerical.
I know that the Google form shows the date in the users format and that is not a problem. It shows up correctly in the spreadsheet in my local format (dd/mm/yyyy).
Does anyone know what format the form uses to send the data to the spreadsheet, or anyway to find out.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, after using wikipedia, and trying every different format it works by using the format yyyy-mm-dd

I have a large text file containing 4 attributes, I want to import this file in Microsoft access 2013 , but when the data is imported it gives an error
Type Conversion Failure
This error is occurring on Date Time field
The format of Date and Time is like that:
2008-02-02 15:36:08
Here is the sample of the file:
Sample of data
I guess you might have skipped explicitly defining the date format during the import procedure.
During the import process you need to click on advanced. This menu should appear:
you want to make sure that the highlighted fields match the date format in the text file.
EDIT: you will also want to make sure that the field is imported as Data Type Date Time
I was wondering if Pandas can somehow figure out what today's date is allowing me to automate the naming of the html file I create when I use the "df.to_html" method.
Basically I"m trying to read a website using method "pd.read_html", and then save the dataframe as an html file, daily. The name of the html file will be the day's date. (So today is 9/28/2016 and tomorrow will be 10/01/16 and so on ) I'm not particular about the format of the date, so Sept or 09, whichever is okay.
I'm trying to automate this as much as possible, and so far the best I've gotten is, using ".format" which allows me some flexiblity. But I don't know how I can further automate the process.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_html('random site')
today_date = 'saved data/{}.html'.format('Sept 28') # I'm saving it in the folder "saved data" with the name as today's date.html.
df.to_html(today_date)
Thanks.
See the datetime module.
specifically: datetime.date.today().isoformat() gives you a string with the current date in ISO 8601 format (‘YYYY-MM-DD’)
I am using Google Script to export some calendar events to a spreadsheet; the relevant portion of my script is below:
var details=[[mycal,events[i].getTitle(), events[i].getDescription(), events[i].getLocation(), events[i].getStartTime(), myformula_placeholder, ('')]];
var range=sheet.getRange(row,1,1,7);
range.setValues(details);
This code works but the "time" that is put into the spreadsheet is a real number of the form nnnnn.nn. On the spreadsheet itself the date looks great using the integer to the left of the decimal (eg 10/15/2017) but the decimals are part of the value and therefore are part of the spreadsheet value.
My script drops the data into a sheet in my workbook, and another sheet reads the rows of data with the above date types, looking for specific date info from the other sheet using the match function (for today()). That would work fine if I could get rid of the decimals.
How can I use what I have above (if I stray far from what I have found works I will be redoing hours of work) but adding just what is needed to only put into the output spreadsheet the whole number portion so I have a pure date that will be found nicely by my match function using today()?
I have been digging, but errors abound in trying to put it all together. "Parse" looked like a good hope, but it failed as the validation did not like parse used within getStartTime. Maybe I used it in the wrong manner.
Help would be appreciated greatly.
According to the CalendarApp documentation, getStartTime() generates a Date object. You should be able to extract the date and time separately from the date object:
var eventStart = events[i].getStartTime(); // Returns date object
var startDate = eventStart.toDateString(); // Returns date portion as a string
var startTime = eventStart.toTimeString(); // Returns time portion as a string
You could then write one or both of these to your spreadsheet. See the w3schools Javascript Date Reference for more information:
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp
If you If you want to specify the string format, you can try formatDate in the Utilities service:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/utilities/utilities#formatdatedate-timezone-format
You could just use the Math.floor() function
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_floor.asp
which will round the real number to an integer. Your line would then read:
var details=[[mycal,events[i].getTitle(), events[i].getDescription(), events[i].getLocation(), Math.floor(events[i].getStartTime()), myformula_placeholder, ('')]];
I am trying to bring up a date format of "Monday, February 2,2015" in meteor autoform, from this code
moment.utc("2015-02-02").format("LL")
I would like to have a list like in php.date function shows the full date format.
I believe each one of us will find few and post here so that we get the complete list. I googled and I never got the list.
I'm not sure I fully understand your question but this might help.

I am generation report in openerp. that ways is, I created sxw and convet into rml then rml into pdf. It is working fine now. What my doubts is, when try to get date and time field value, it's getting only date. Time is not coming in pdf report.
Field name in python: 'sample_receipt_date':datetime(....)
in sxw: [[formatLang(o.sample_receipt_date,date=True)]]
After convert pdf: dd/mm/yy
but i want this format dd/mm/yy/min/sec in pdf.
what is python coding in sxw document?
[[ time.ctime() ]] should work in RML, otherwise, take a look at https://doc.openerp.com/6.1/vi/developer/05_reports/ or the full RML for Idiots manual
Try this:
replace (date=True) By (date_time=True)
