TimeStamp problem

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a strange issue with date column.

I am able to convert date column into MM/DD/YYYY in my local machine, but I was not able do in remote desktop  and it is showing null values.

I used num(date) in script.

Iam able to convert my own format using Left(date,10), but not able to convert DD/MM/YYYY format.

Is there settings to apply for remote desktop version

Please guide me how to achive this thing

Regards,

Kumar

Please post your script,

if you declare functions explicitly it should work, like

DATE(DATE#(MyDate, 'MM/DD/YYYY'), 'DD/MM/YYYY')     AS MyConvertedDate

Hi,

Try to use Date() and Date#() like below

Syntax:

Date(Date#(DateFieldName, 'Source Data Format'), 'Required Date format')

LOAD

*,

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

FROM DataSource;

Use above script if you are converting 'DD/MM/YYYY' to 'MM/DD/YYYY'.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.

Hello Kumar,

Peter and Jagan's suggestions should work for you.

The reason it works on you PC and not the the remote desktop could be the locale of the server and if its using UK/US or other date formatting.

For example at the start of all QV scripts will be the default formatting rules, my PC is UK so the default date format is

SET DateFormat='DD/MM/YYYY';

Hi Peter,

Actually I am new to qlikview.  my remote box is US and already some default values are there like below

SET ThousandSep=',';

SET DecimalSep='.';

SET MoneyThousandSep=',';

SET MoneyDecimalSep='.';

SET MoneyFormat='$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)';

SET TimeFormat='h:mm:ss TT';

SET DateFormat='M/D/YYYY';

SET TimestampFormat='M/D/YYYY h:mm:ss[.fff] TT';

SET MonthNames='Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec';

SET DayNames='Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat;Sun';

In QVD the date column [Time Full date] format  is like YYYY-MM-DD, but  I want  like MM/DD/YYYY.

Can you help me, how to resolve this issue.

Kumar

Hi,

did you try

date([Time Full Date],'MM/DD/YYYY')

or

date(date#([Time Full Date],'YYYY-MM-DD'),'MM/DD/YYYY'

Hi Kumar,

Try with this.....

SET DateFormat='M/D/YYYY'; change to SET DateFormat='MM/DD/YYYY';

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

[Anonymous]

I tried with 2 options, but no use.

Do we need to any settings for this one.

Regards

[#10]

Hi Kumar,

Try like this.....

Date(Date#('8/4/12', 'M/D/YY'), 'MM/DD/YY')  as dateField

Output is 08/04/12
