Pages custom date format

I'm looking for a way to create a custom date format outside a Pages formatted cell. In other words, in text paragraphs, I need to be able to update the year only in a paragraph. Any ideas?

If you are looking for the capability within Pages to insert a custom date field-code like the following, outside of a table, then I am not aware of how it can be done. I used LibreOffice 4.0 to produce the following image.
When this was exported as a .docx file into Pages v4.3 on Mountain Lion, the YYYY format was replaced by a Pages date field. A right-button selection of this date in Pages offers an Edit Date & Time... menu item that produces the following panel:
There is no YYYY format customization on this panel within Pages.
It is possible to write an AppleScript service that runs from your Pages > Services menu and scans your Pages document for a date to convert to a YYYY replacement format. You may not want that either.
Did this answer your question?

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

Custom date format is not working for me

I have a bunch of dates imported from another spread sheet. They look like this:
February 04, 2014 at 09:24AM
Numbers 3.2 sees this as Text, so I went about making a custom date format. It looks like this:
However, I cannot make Numbers see it as a date. It keeps saying it is a string. If I select the cell containing the date and set the format to "My Custom Format", nothing happens - at all.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael,
The Custom format you designed will display a normal Dave and Time value in the way your import presents it. That's not what you want though.
To comvert the imported format to a regular Numbers format, use a conversion expression in a new column.
Assuming your Imported Date is in Column B, Insert a Column and use this expression:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(B, LEN(B)−11))+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(B, 7)
Format your new column to the way you want to see Date/Time in your document.

Custom Data Formatting Gone for Dates

Another new aspect of the updated Numbers app for OS X is the loss of customizing data formats. There are more options via a drop down, but there's less customization. For example. I had a use case where I'd take a column full of dates and would replicate it so the same data was in two columns. I then was able to customize the first column of dates to use a month shortcode only so it would render "Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr..." depending on the data in that column. The next colum with the same data I'd then customize to show only the day of the month. See the example below.
Date
Column 1
Date
Column 2
Jan
4
Mar
15
Oct
23
Presently, neither the shortnames for months by themselves nor the day of the month by itself is available as an option when working in the Data Format panel.
I'm assuming the customization was killed, but if someone knows if that's hidden elsewhere, please let me know!

Hi Bret,
I don't know the answer to your actual question as I tend to later adoption, and am not yet using Numbers 3.0, but here's a workaround (with some limitations, noted below).
Limitations:
Requires that the values in the cells are created by formulas, or can be created by formulas referencing another cell.
The resulting values will be a text string (column A) or a numeric value (column B), not a Date and Time value.
A: =LEFT(MONTHNAME(MONTH(formula)),3)
B: =DAY(formula)
In each, formula is the existing formula used to determine the D&T value currently in the cell.

Barry

Custom Data Format

I am using the new version of numbers and cannot find an option for custom data format. Has it been removed or am I missing something? Can someone point me out where it is? Either that, or let me know how to get a bigger currency list as the currency I am wanting is not there.

Hi Cullen,
Thank you for this workaround. I did as you said, and it works, unlike copy and paste from Numbers 2.3 to Numbers 3.0 .
In Numbers '09 (version 2.3) I created two Custom formats.
Column A is the inbuilt Date and Time format showing only the Date (my region's date format is Day Month Year).
Column B is a Custom Format to show short Month, space, short year.
Column C is the inbuilt format for Number.
Column D is a custom Format to show leading zeroes.
Then I did as you said and saved the Numbers 2 document (as a document for future use, not as a Template, because I am not sure how Templates are shared between the two versions on Numbers).
Then File, option key > Save As... a new name to preserve my original from harm by Numbers 3.0 .
In Numbers 3, (as you said) open the spare copy and the Custom formats are indeed listed. Format Inspector > Cell > Data Format
And they do work. Here is where I edited the cell content by entering new values from the keyboard:
I shall place a link to this thread on the thread named "Workarounds in Numbers 3.0?"
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372#
Thanks for this.
Regards,
Ian.

I18n for custom date format strings

I want to internationalize dates shorter than DateFormat.SHORT, in the form "M/d". For example, when the Locale is US, January 16 should display as 1/16, but if the Locale is MX (Mexico), it should display as 16/1.
It seems like a very simple problem date formatting problem, but it doesn't look like the DateFormat/SimpleDateFormat classes have any way of doing this. Am I missing something?
--Steven

You need to apply your own customized date pattern to get the formats you want. I suggest you put the patterns in resource bundles...the default pattern in your default bundle, and the Mexican pattern in your bundle for Mexico. Then do something like this:
<pre>
<code>
String newPattern = "M/d"; // retrieve from bundle instead
Date today = new Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat simpleFormat = (SimpleDateFormat)df;
simpleFormat.applyPattern(newPattern);
System.out.println(df.format(today);
</code>
</pre>

Custom Date format in InfoPath DatePicker without code

Hello,
I am trying to customize the date format in my date picker on my InfoPath form. I went to the date picker properties and was able to change it so that it displays the format in "14-Mar-01" but I want to really customize and have it formatted to look
like the following "MMM-YY" format. Is there a way to go about setting this format without custom code? I am unable to use any server side code for my forms.
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the date format like “MMM-YY” without custom code.
The date format which is set in InfoPath Form is different from the date column’s default format in SharePoint.
In SharePoint, the default format of the date column is depended on the selection of the “Time Zone”, “Region”, “Calendar” options in the “Regional Settings” of Site Settings.
However, the date format which is set in InfoPath Form only works on the items’ NewForm, EditForm, DispForm in the lists.
I recommend that you can create a calculated column based on the date column with this formula: =TEXT(Date,"MMM-YY").
Then, you can modify view to display the calculated column and hide the date column in the list.
The result is shown as below:

TES 6.1.x - custom date format

In 5.3.1. I was able to create my own custom dates. In 6.1 I create the format, click on Add Custom Format - click OK. When I go back to Variables - System Variables - System Date - Date Format I expect to see it in the list so I can select it, but it's not - I have to do all the steps all over again. Is this some kind of bug or is just me?

Custom date format -every time? dd/mm/yy

I'm ding my first biggish form so there is a list of issues I'm trying to resolve here, bear with me...
I'm in europe and we like the dd/mm/yy date format but this isn't a default option to choose from so I have to put in custom, dd/mm/yy every time I want a date field. I have around 12 per form at the moment so is there not a way for Acrobat to 'remember' it, even within the document, never mind the 'prefs' for the whole program. I can't find anything under language or international options.
Thanks,
Matt

After setting it, right-click the field and select "Use current properties
as new defaults".

Does anyone know how to make custom date formats?

Hi,
In lightroom 4 I found a really useful tip where you can alter the file that controls how teh date format part of the import dialogue works - and more importantly it allows you to choose teh folder locations too, so when I import from another camera I can have the folder structure how I like.
The annoying thing is that I know its there and it will just be a case of copying the file I made to the right location.

Typical, as soon as I post I find it!!
For anyone else looking for this its a file called: TranslatedStrings.txt
This should go in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5\Resources\en
You may need to make the en folder (and the file for that matter I forget)
The formatting I used was this:
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_1/Template=Pictures\FromCamera\Cameras\5D Mark III\%Y_%m_%d"
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_2/Template=Pictures\FromCamera\Cameras\DMC-LX7\%Y_%m_ %d"
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_3/%Y_%m_%d"
Hope that helps someone

Customizing Date Formats in PSE 7 on Vista 64

I've just installed PSE 7 on Vista 64 SP1 (previously I was running it on XP SP1. It seems to work very well but I now find I'm unable to customize the date format the way I like it ("Sun 11 Jan 2009").
Previously I'd used the trick of creating a DWord called ForceDictionary with value 1 in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Organizer and creating a zstring.dct file as described here:
DPX, "PSE 6 Feature Requests" #28, 19 Mar 2008 7:13 pm.
Things seem different in Vista: PSE now stores its configuration in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softare\Adobe\photoshop elements\7.0\Organizer. Adding ForceDictionary here seems to have no effect and I'm stuck with the MM/DD/YYYY format.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks
P.S: I'm running on a very fast machine - a 3.2GHz Core i7 Extreme and PSE7 is pretty fast: with ~70K photos in my catalog all tagging operations (e.g.. find all 44K images with tag X) complete in ~2 seconds.
Scrolling from picture to picture is still not as fast as I'd like it to be though - it takes almost a second for a picture to come into focus as I move from pictures to picture while the organizer displays one picture at a time.
Interestingly, full screen view (F11) is much faster with no perceptible delay - the pictures snap into focus immediately.

The description of the zstring.dct file seems to be no longer available (it was in a post in an old version of this forum) so here it is:
Create a file called zstring.dct in the location described in previous posts. The file contents are as follows (the double quotes are part of the file):
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternFull=M/d/yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternSimple=M/d/yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternLong=MMMM d, yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternLongUnknownDay=MMMM ?, yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternMonthDay=MMM d"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternTimelineTip=MMM d yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternLongUnknownMonth=?, yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternSimpleYearMonth=M/yyyy"
     "$$$/PtDateTimeUtil/DateFormatSpecifierWesternMonthYear=MMM yyyy"
You should then edit the date formats (after the equals sign) as you desire. The formats WesternFull and WesternSimple control the Organizer's date display in the main window and properties pane (and those are the only ones I bother to edit). My preferred date format is "ddd d MMM yyyy" (e.g., "Thu 11 Oct 2007").

Custom Date Format in a Date Field

I have an interesting problem. I am using a Date & Time field in a template for a copyright year. The problem is that there is no selection in the Date & Time field that displays only the year. Is there a way to add a new custom format so that I can have the Date & Time field show just the 4 digit year?
Thanks in advance!

The contextual menu does not contain the format I need. I need only the year. I will probably need to configure a custom format so I can get just the year. I can't find any documentation anywhere that tells me how to do that with Pages '09 (there are some posts regarding this for Pages '08).
If you use a Table, you can use Custom Format in the Table Inspector to display only the year. It's not real convenient to use a function inside a Table Cell, but it's effective. You can insert the Date from the Insert menu, or you can use the expression "=TODAY()".
Consult the User Guide PDF on how to use the Custom Format. P. 214 of the English edition.

Custom Date Formatting

I'm using the simple code below to custom format an input date and when I compile I keep getting a:
Unhandled exception type ParseException error. Can anyone explain why?
import java.text.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main (String[] parameters) throws ParseException {
        SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyyMMdd");
        SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
        String inputDate = "2004-09-27";
        String outputDate = outputFormat.format (inputFormat.parse (inputDate));
        System.out.println (outputDate);
}

import java.text.*;
public class Foo {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyyMMdd");
        SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
        String inputDate = "2004-09-27";
        String outputDate = outputFormat.format (inputFormat.parse (inputDate));
        System.out.println (outputDate); // 12/09/2003
}
