BI Publisher Date Format

Hi,
I am building a data model using a SQL query in BI Publisher, the date format of the column in the database is DD-MON-YYYY. When I use this format in BI Publisher the query returns no results:
where trim(w.date_added) = '19-MAY-2010'
I have tried using trim(to_date(w.date_added, 'YYYY-MM-DD')) = '19-MAY-2010'
This also returns no results, however when running against the database I do see resullts.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
If I run the query in the database using date format 'DD-MON-YYYY', I do get results. The problem lies within BI Publisher query, I have tried using java date format:
trim(to_date(w.date_added, 'MM-dd-yyyy')) = '05-19-2010'
This also returns no results, the actual date format in the table appears as '19-MAY-2010'

    Hi,
    I am trying to convert a date format 20100910 to DD-MM-YYYY, is it possible to change this format in the template. I have attempted to change the data model query using:

  • XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
    In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
    Can anyone please help me out?
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
    I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
    The dates are in english.
    My excel is setup to use danish.
    When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
    But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
    Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Date Format issue in xml publisher

    Hi,
    I have a date column with the format of 'DD-MON-YY' in database. When i try to fetch this column value thro' sql query in xml publisher with data template, its giving the column value as '2007-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00'.
    Now i want to convert '2007-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00' format value to 'DD-MON-YY'.
    Can anyone please help me out to solve this problem to convert given date format to required date format.
    Regards,
    Sadanand

    Hi,
    when you have a date column in the database, than the format is not 'DD-MON-YY' .
    'DD-MON-YY' is the default representation as string of a date column in your database and could be different in others (defaults are set depending the NLS-Settings).
    If you use rtf-templaes you had to say the form-field, that the type is date and then you can set your format mask. Per default even date fields are represented in rtf-templates as type regular text, and so the default for date columns contains every informationn of a date column.

  • Date format not working in XML Publisher

    Hi,
    We have applied a date format while formatting the report layout using the Template.
    The same is not getting reflected.
    The output is as follows : 5/1/2006 0:0:0
    i.e date with time stamp.
    We require DD-Mon-RRRR format.
    The same has been tried using the Text Form Field Options.
    When applying the same for Number it works . But in case of Date it does not.
    Can anybody who has worked on the same, let us know the appropriate way to do the same.
    Thanks,
    Angelica.

    XMLP does not recognized the field as date. The only format recognized as date is
    YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
    So, either make the data model to return dates in the above format, and then apply date formatting in XMLP, or do the job on the data model side and return the string in the desired final format (which, again, then will be string, not date for the XMLP)

  • Date format issue in Web Analysis...

    Hi,
    I am creating a report by connecting to a couple of relational tables. I'm using SQL Spreadsheet and SQL Subscription objects. I'm creating a Date filter using SQL Subscription object (list box) using the data source created by the SQL Spreadsheet. My database default date format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. But in the list box it shows as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI". When this value is selected, I get a "Literal mismatch error" since it doesn't match with the value stored in the database.
    Why the format in WA is showing in this format even though it is fetchting it from my database in which the format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Is this related to WA date format settings? I cannot find anywhere in WA studio where I can set date formats. Is this something to be set in the server or webanalysis.properties file?
    PS: I tried to work around this by storing the date value as character in the database but then I am not able to sort them ascending or descending order.I also tried creating the web analysis relational database connection which creates a virtual cube. But even there when I build the report using Data Source Navigator, it is showing date in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI'.

    Hi,
    Let me provide you the details of the report.
    A concurrent program has been created with executable as XDODTEXE (XML publisher report).
    In the data definition, we have embed one query which fetches transaction date and due date from some tables based on some conditions.
    Now, we have to show these date columns in report output which will be in EXCEL format.
    We want these date outputs to be printed in dd/mm/yyyy format. That is the reason we had given-
    TO_CHAR(TO_DATE (SUBSTR(transaction_date,1,10), 'DD/MON/RRRR'),'DD/MM/RRRR') in the SQL query.
    Problem in output is- In date columns, data after 12th is fine i.e. in format dd/mm/yyyy, it is printing properly.
    But before 12th, it is printing in format mm/dd/yyyy as mentioned below-
    01/10/2012--wrong format, it should be 10/01/2012
    01/11/2012--wrong format, it should be 11/01/2012
    01/12/2012--wrong format, it should be 12/01/2012
    13/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
    14/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
    How can i send you the attachment, is there any way/any email id?

  • Need help in converting date format

    Hi,
    Need help in converting date format from 'DD-MON-YYYY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' in an .rtf template as I believe xml publisher supports the date format as 'YYYY-MM-DD' only.
    Thanks,
    Raj.

    I got the same problem, anyone know how to solve this problem? I allready found some date functions on http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/09/date_functions.html . I also tried <?xdoxslt:month_name(xdoxslt:get_month(xdofx:substr(NEED_BY_DATE, 4,3)), $_XDOLOCALE), 0, 'nl-NL')?>, but then it returns a namespace error (Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.). Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Change default date format of reports data source

    Hi all,
    I need to convert an ugly EBS standard charactermode report (Oracle Reports) into the Xml-Publisher format. I'd like to use the existing report as the xml data source as all data is available in the old report.
    The problem is that the date format used by reports is determined by NLS_DATE_FORMAT (et al). This date format unfortunately is not xml compliant (dd.mm.yyyy in our case) and so Xml-Publisher date related features (e.g. sort by date) will not work .
    The report/template is submitted via the submit concurrent request form.
    Is there a way to make the underlying reports produce xml conformant dates without resorting to wild substring operations in the template or changing the EBS standard report?
    Thanks
    Christoph

NLS_date_format affects how that internal date is converted to a character string for presentation to humans, or how to interpret a character string (received ,ultimately, from a human) for conversion to that internal format. It (NLS_DATE_FORMAT) can be set at several levels, but table/column is not one of them.
    Please read the link I posted in my earlier response. It will clear up your confusion.

    I believe you may still have issues with your migration. I would first verify that you can perform some basic functions with PWA:
    1) Create, save and publish a new project from browser.
    2) Edit, save and publish one of the migrated projects.
    3) Before doing the migration, do you have all the approvals completed and projects published.
    4) Clear out your cache and try a different project to open.
    5) Open Server Settings, go to Delete Objects and see if your projects are listed for deletion.

  • Date Parameters and List of Values (error message date format cannot be nul

    I'm new to BI Publisher. I began with a simple report that has 4 parameters. The parameters are center code, sales date, customer number, and job number. I am trying to create a list of values on my customer number based on the center code and sales date entered by the user. My query for my LOV is:
    select customer_nbr
    from ticket
    where center_cd = :center
    and trunc(trans_date) = :salesDate
    salesDate is defined as a date parameter with a format of MM-dd-yy. It's default value is 04-10-07.
    When I attempt to view my report after adding the LOV, I receive the error:
    Date format can not be null.
    What am I doing wrong? Also, I would like the salesDate to default to the current date. I have tried using sysdate as the default value. This isn't working. The salesDate defualts to null when it is set to sysdate.

  • Date format in Excel report output

    Goodmorning All.
    Am using XML publisher for some reports. The current report is in Excel. Everything is fine on this. I want to print the date parameter in 'MON-YY' format.
    In the 'Text Form Field' option, I have used the type as 'Regular Text'. In the 'Add Help Text' using the formatting as follows: <?format-Date:P_TO_DATE1;MM/YYYY?>. This seems to send the date parameter '1-Jun-12' as 'Jun-12'. But when it opens in excel, Excel assigns the cell 'Custom' format and type as 'd-mmm-yy' instead of 'mmm-yy'. So the final output still comes in DD-MON-YY format.
    I have tried changing the type to 'DATE' and date format to 'MMM-yy' in the 'Text Form Field' option. But still the excel custom format is overriding the final output.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Z

    Hi Alex,
    I used the following code in the 'Form field help Text': <?xdoxslt:format_date(P_FROM_DATE1,'MMM-yy','yyyy-MM-dd', 'en-us', $_XDOTIMEZONE)?>
    Then I wrote some letters immediately after that and ran the report. When I opened it in excel, Excel assigned format category as 'General' to the output cell. So the output now comes as desired format as 'Jan-12XYZ'.
    So it seems, if there will be some additional characters after the dates, then excel does not auto reformat the XML output to the custom date category.
    Now the big question; How to do it without the trailing characters i.e. 'XYZ' in the above output. If I remove them, then Excel will again try to custom format the date. I read soemwhere that blank space can be used to append but am not sure how it will be in the code.
    By the way in the 'text Form Field Options' I am using type as 'Regular Text'.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks
