Probelems with date and datetime

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 12:29:06 GMT

I have a challenge regarding dateissue. I have written a qvd file so that I could read what the output data is like, and the result was a bit devostating!

I have had major issues with the dates showing up in a different format

31.12.2008 23:59:59:000

31.12.2009 23:59:59:000

31.12.2010 23:59:59:000

31.12.2011 23:59:59:000

31.12.2012 23:59:59:000

But looking at the qvd file I see more issues:

These are my scripts:

MyTable:

LOAD Date(Floor([Posting Date]),'YYYY-MM-DD') as [Posting Date]

FROM $(vG.DatasourceQVDPath)\XXXXXXXX_Drift.qvd (qvd);

QuartersMap:

MAPPING LOAD

rowno() as Month,

'Q' & Ceil (rowno()/3) as Quarter

AUTOGENERATE (12);

Temp:

Load

min([Posting Date]) as minDate,

max([Posting Date]) as maxDate

Resident MyTable;

Let varMinDate = Num(Peek('minDate', 0, 'Temp'));

Let varMaxDate = Num(Peek('maxDate', 0, 'Temp'));

DROP Table Temp;

TempCalendar:

LOAD

$(varMinDate) + Iterno()-1 As Num,

Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1) as TempDate

AutoGenerate 1 While $(varMinDate) + IterNo() -1 <= $(varMaxDate);

MasterCalendar:

Load

TempDate AS [Posting Date],

week(TempDate) As Week,

Year(TempDate) As Year,

Month(TempDate) As Month,

Day(TempDate) As Day,

YeartoDate(TempDate)*-1 as CurYTDFlag,

YeartoDate(TempDate,-1)*-1 as LastYTDFlag,

inyear(TempDate, Monthstart($(varMaxDate)),-1) as RC12,

date(monthstart(TempDate), 'MMM-YYYY') as MonthYear,

ApplyMap('QuartersMap', month(TempDate), Null()) as Quarter,

Week(weekstart(TempDate)) & '-' & WeekYear(TempDate) as WeekYear,

WeekDay(TempDate) as WeekDay

Resident TempCalendar

Order By TempDate ASC;

STORE MasterCalendar into $(vG.QVDPath)MasterCalendar.QVD;

Drop Table TempCalendar;

STORE MyTable into $(vG.QVDPath)PostingDate.QVD;

I'm not sure if I understand your issue right, but TempDate inkludes no format:

Date($(varMinDate) + IterNo() - 1, 'DD.MM.YYYY') as TempDate
