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));

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 am looking to truncate the date time to start of the day for the given timeZone.
If the current time is Mon Aug 24 15:38:42 America/Los_Angeles, it should be truncated to start of the day Mon Aug 24 00:00:00 America/Los_Angeles which then later should be converted to equivalent UTC time.
I have explored the methods provided by Joda Time Library, Apache Commons Library and ZonedDateTime but all of them truncate the date time in UTC and not to specific timeZone.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
You can use ZonedDateTime. Use toLocalDate() on ZonedDateTime to get LocalDate then atStartOfDay on LocalDate with zone of ZonedDateTime instance to get the start of day.
Example:
ZonedDateTime now = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("America/Los_Angeles"));
ZonedDateTime startOfDay = now.toLocalDate().atStartOfDay(now.getZone());
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.RFC_1123_DATE_TIME;
System.out.println(now.format(formatter)); // Mon, 24 Aug 2020 10:41:41 -0700
System.out.println(startOfDay.format(formatter)); // Mon, 24 Aug 2020 00:00:00 -0700
ZonedDateTime truncates in its own time zone. So it can be done a bit simpler than in the currently accepted answer (which is also a good and correct answer).
ZonedDateTime given = ZonedDateTime.of(2020, 8, 24, 15, 38, 42, 0, ZoneId.of("America/Los_Angeles"));
ZonedDateTime startOfDay = given.truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.DAYS);
System.out.println("Truncated to start of day: " + startOfDay);
Instant inUtc = startOfDay.toInstant();
System.out.println("In UTC: " + inUtc);
Output is:
Truncated to start of day: 2020-08-24T00:00-07:00[America/Los_Angeles]
In UTC: 2020-08-24T07:00:00Z
I am trying to format a timezone based
How can i convert a JS time into these formats?
"Thu Sep 24 2015 14:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)"
"September 24th 2015, 2:00:00 pm UTC-07:00"
"2015-09-24 14:00:00 GMT-0700"
"Sept 24 2015 14:00:00 GMT-0700"
"Thu Sep 24 2015 14:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)"
Converting into any of it would help.
You can use tokens listed in the format documentation, as shown in the following snippet.
Use square brackets [] to add characters that should be escaped (GMT and UTC in the example, if you need current zone abbreviation use the z token).
Note that as the moment-timezone docs says:
Moment.js also provides a hook for the long form time zone name. Because these strings are generally localized, Moment Timezone does not provide any long names for zones.
To provide long form names, you can override moment.fn.zoneName and use the zz token.
You can find in the snippet an example of providing long names for zones.
var time = "2016-11-09 15:38:00", zone = "America/Chicago";
var m = moment.tz(time,zone);
console.log(m.format('ddd MMM D YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]ZZ (z)'));
console.log(m.format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a [UTC]ZZ'));
console.log(m.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss [GMT]ZZ'));
console.log(m.format('MMM D YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]ZZ'));
// Add long names for sample zones
var abbrs = {
EST : 'Eastern Standard Time',
EDT : 'Eastern Daylight Time',
CST : 'Central Standard Time',
CDT : 'Central Daylight Time',
MST : 'Mountain Standard Time',
MDT : 'Mountain Daylight Time',
PST : 'Pacific Standard Time',
PDT : 'Pacific Daylight Time',
};
moment.fn.zoneName = function () {
var abbr = this.zoneAbbr();
return abbrs[abbr] || abbr;
};
console.log(m.format('ddd MMM D YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]ZZ (zz)'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.2/moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment-timezone/0.5.7/moment-timezone-with-data-2010-2020.min.js"></script>
I was able to make third one using this snippet
var time = "2016-11-09 15:38:00",
zone = "America/Chicago",
format = "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss zZZ";
moment.tz(time,zone).utc().format(format)
I would like convert string to date (dd/MM/YYYY) - this is useful for compare dates in TableColumns.
so i use DateTimeStringConverter (the string "01/11/2014" is a value of DatePicker)
DateTimeStringConverter format = new DateTimeStringConverter(Locale.FRANCE,
"dd/MM/YYYY");
Date d1 = format.fromString("01/11/2014");
d1.toString()
I don't obtain the right date but this date = "Mon Dec 30 00:00:00 CET 2013" !!!
I don't understand what is the problem (which in fact should not be a problem) ?
Any ideas ?
Thank you in advance
