Flooring mixed timestamp and date data

mwscott1 — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

In my data I have a mix of timestamps and dates. When I floor this to try and return all entries at dates. It appears only the entries that are dates in the original data are returned. None of the timestamp entries show.

date(floor([Completed Date]),'MM/DD/YYYY') as [Completed Date]

Hi,

It could be down to Qlik Seeing the timestamp data as a string and not a date. maybe try soemthing like

DATE(DATE#(LEFT([Completed Date],10),'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/YYYY') as [Completed Date]

Hi,

it is because you're using only formatting function Date().

you will need to use Date#() to interpret both format differently combined with Alt() and encapsulate the whole into Date() function
