Data extraction issue - date format

squreshi — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 07:16:32 GMT

In database, date is 27-03-14 but when I am extracting the same through QV the date format is getting changed to 03/14/2027.

Note: There are multiple date formats present in the DB and there are multiple date columns present in the script if i change the default setting of date format then it will be applicable for all.

I have to correct the above mentioned date format only.

If anyone have the idea how to sort out this situation then please share the solution.

you could try with loading like

Date(Date#('27-03-14','DD-MM-YY')) as YourDateField

hope this helps

First check your main script

SET DateFormat = 'DD-MM-YYY'

and then while loading use

Date(Date#('27-03-14','DD-MM-YY')) as YourDateField

You do not have to change your default environmental setting to get the date format you're willing.

and Date https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/12.0/Subsystems/Client/Content/Scripting/date-time-interpretation.htm

For example my default Date setting is:

SET DateFormat='YYYY.MM.DD';

But in case DB provides date like 30102010 I can write an expression:

=Date(Date#('30102010', 'DDMMYYYY'), 'DD-MM-YY')
