Date field not recognized by date picker extension ?

 Here is the  load script for the date field 

Timestamp(Timestamp#([ Date field ], 'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm TT') ) AS [ Date field ]

This field does not automatically show up in the Date Picker extension.

I tried date ( floor( [Date field])) in the script  but that does not work also. 

In the Excel file all the values are formatted as :  11/21/2018 01:15 PM

How do I eliminate the  01:15 PM  and make the Date Picker pick up the field ?

 

Any ideas ?

Check your data format, must be the same at properties from extension:

Hi,

When loading date fields via Data Manager, these will be automatically recognised and tagged as date fields. If you explore the auto-generated load script you'll see the following expressions for each date field:

Date(Date#(DateFieldName, 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'DD/MM/YYYY') as formattedDate

If  still date picker object doesn't display/recognise that field, then try this trick:

  1. Select one of the available fields from the drop down
  2. Enable 'Advanced Setup' (i.e. 'ON')
  3. Use the expression editor to enter the desired field manually.

I hope this helps.

Hi, I suggest to tag the field as a date. These fields are shown by date picker:

Tag Field DateField With '$date';
