Calendar All Day Events, Calculated Columns, Timezone and DayLight Savings - Issues

Hi
I have a calendar where I am trying to display in one column using a calculated field (TitleWithTimes):
Start time (only display time) - End Time (only display time) : Title i.e. 00:00 - 23:59 : Test Event
So I add an all day event to the calendar for this month (February), it appears correctly:
i.e. 00:00 - 23:59 : Test Event 1
I am based in the UK so my time zone is currently GMT/UTC.
However if I add any all day events to the calendar in April when the time zone switches to GMT+1, the start and end times appear incorrect.
i.e 01:00 - 00:59 : Test Event 2
Field: TitleWithTimes
=TEXT([Start Time],"hh:mm")&" - "&TEXT([End Time],"hh:mm")&" : "&Title
This issue only occurs with ALL Day Events when the events are scheduled for a in the period of the year where the Time Zone becomes GMT + 1. My regional settings everywhere in SharePoint are correct as are all the SharePoint servers.
I have done lots of searching and troubleshooting to try and resolve this issue but it appears nobody has found a reliable fix for this issue with calculated fields, all day events and time zones? Does anyone have any ideas of workarounds?
Thanks

Hi,
I understand that you had issues about the calculated field in calendar.
This is a reproducible issue, when creating an all day event, the calculate column based on the Start Time/End Time is different from the original column value. The date is stored in SQL in GMT time and is displayed in SP in the correct time in lists. So
returning the start time in a calculated column for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
As a workaround, you can regenerate the calculate column to add one day/minus one day based on whether the event is an all day event, or create a workflow to copy the start time column to your created date/time column.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured

The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured as the red covers the whole day

I have the same proble. In all views all day events don't show up. If I search for the event, there is a result but it does not appear in the calendar.

Outlook 2007 and iPhone Calendar All-Day events not displaying correctly

I recently took the 3.1.3 update for my iphone and have since noticed that syncing all-day events from my Outlook 2007 exchange environment to the iphone is not working correctly. The all-day flag on the iphone is not being checked, thus the event shows up all over the calendar instead of just a single item at the top of the calendar. This only happens for multi-day events. Single-day, all day events show fine. Here's the tests I did:
1. Created a single day, all-day event for tomorrow June 18 in Outlook 2007. Made sure that they all-day checkbox was checked in Outlook. Waited for the sync and it shows up fine in iPhone calendar. There is a single line at the top of the "Day" view that lists the event. When you look at the event, the all-day checkbox is checked in iphone calendar.
2. Next I updated the event in Outlook to make it a multi-day, all day event. I changed the end date to be June 19. I made sure to leave the all day checkbox checked in Outlook. Once synced, the all day checkbox on the iphone is now unchecked and as a result the event takes up the whole "Day" view for both days.
Is there a solution for this? Only seen this since I updated to the 3.1.3 firmware. All events show up the right way in Outlook. It is only the iPhone calendar that shows them wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

Same problem here.
All Day events entered in Outlook 2007 on my work machine that have ALL DAY checked and are only on that ONE Day, seem to come out fine. If however we have an all-day event that goes multiple days, then it enters it on my iphone taking up 00:00-00:00, which is very messy if you have two ALL-day envents on the same day (when tracking different personnel for example).
I have noticed the real annoying item though is that changing it on my iPhone 4 directly, that once I put in the right start and end dates, and choose ALL DAY, about 5 seconds later it actually changes the START DAY! This makes you go back to change the start day, then it changes the end day so you change that, and now finally all sorted.
This NEVER happened on my iPhone3G that I have used with Excahgne for over two years now. Only since I got my iPhone4.
PLEASE Apple, fix this!!!!

LG Extravert - Verizon Mobile Email - Google Calendar - All Day Events showing on wrong day

I have an LG Extravert. I installed and setup the Verizon Mobile Email application. I added my gmail account. I successfully pulls in my gmail calendar - BUT any of the events that as "All Day" events in google end up displaying on the wrong day on the LG Extravert. If I drill into the event on the phone - it displays start and end times for the event. Why does it do anything with time for an all day event? and if it does (for some reason) still use times - why are the times off? The timezone setup on my phone and google accounts all match.
Please Advise...

I am using the features of the Mobile Email application... I couldn't find a way with the Extravert to integrate directly with the calendar application.
If a create an all day event on the phone... it looks ok in google... but when the phone alerts me of the event... it says the Start Time is 1:00 AM. It seems like the Mobile Email Applications calendaring is not able to correctly handle All Day events.

IOS 7 calendar all day events

Along with the other strange things in ios 7 calendar the notification "bug" is still confusing me.
As I work a set of 5 shifts on I input this into my calendar as an all day event commencing on my first day and finishing on the 5th. In iOS6 this worked fine and the notification showed correctly throughout the period. However in iOS7 notifications it doesnt. The first day doesnt showed as previously reported on this and many other forums but now I am on day 2 of a 5 day all day event and the notifications screen says I have no upcoming events.
Unless I am missing something this is absolutely stupid and effectively renders my calendar useless. Does anybody have an idea on what to do because this along with other weird things in ios7 is swaying me away from Apple.
I cant find a 3rd party app that will sync either on all my devices, ipad, iphone and Mac.
Cheers.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Calendar/All Day Event NOT SHOWING ANYMORE!!

First of all this is the reason why I bought a BB. When I got the phone in Sept all of my All Day Events would pop up first thing in the morning and not go away until I dismissed them. Now, don't know what has happened my all day events do not pop up anymore! This is really really bad. For unorganized people like myself this option was the sole reason why I bought this phone and I need to have this back!
And also, how frustrating is it that they don't have a customer support number where you can talk to an expert to resolve your problem. Thank god I am slightly computer savy.
Can anyone please help!!!
Thanks

I also lost most of my birthdays that I laboured to set up in my address book contacts. Can anyone please help on these disappearing calendar events?

Duplicate All-Day events in Entourage, iCal and iPhone

When I sync my iPhone calendars at work, I am getting duplicate all day events (ie, birthdays, anniversary, etc). I'm using the Entourage sync services to create an iCal.
Is anyone having a similar problem or solution?
Thanks!

I have had a similar problem with all-day events in Entourage.
So far, I have had to manually delete the unwanted all-day events, but once deleted, they have not come back.
My theory is this: I already was syncing Entourage and iCal even before the iPhone. When I added the iPhone, it added a Calendar called "Entourage" to the iCal. It synced Entourage, my home iCal, my work iCal, and the iPhone to the iCal "Entourage" Calendar, leading to multiple junk. I added an application to my Mac which automatically keeps track of library books I have checked out, and puts the due dates on my iCal. When I added this, I got a whole new round of double all-day events.
You can delete them either in Entourage or in the iPhone, but I have gotten more reliable results doing it in Entourage.
A keyboard shortcut is to point at the event with your mouse and then type {Apple Key} {backwards delete} d
Hope this helps.

Yosemite Calendar - All day events are not showing

I have been using Apple Calendar for quite some time but after I upgraded to Yosemite All day events does not show in the calendar any more. Other events in my calendar is showing.
Environment:
1: I'm on Macbook Pro Retina, running Yosemite 10.10.1
2: Calendar is version 8.0 (2026)
3: I am using Google Calendar, added as account to Calendar
Problem/Bug:
This has been working fine on Maverick until this upgrade and I think it is a bug in Calendar.
1. I tried to add an all day event from Calendar, using my Google account calendar
2. Event is saved, but once saved it isn't shown in Calendar.
3. When I login to my Google account calendar, the event I created just created is shown nicely there!
I then tried adding a new calendar using my iCloud account, but same thing happened:
1. I tried to add an all day event from Calendar, using my iCloud account calendar
2. Event is saved, but once saved it isn't shown in Calendar
3. I once again try, this time by logging into my iCloud account, the event I created just created is shown!
This is really weird and a major issue as all-day events are kind of important to see when you are planning and scheduling meetings.
One additional thing, I'm not sure if it is related, I have Time zone support turned on as I am working across multiple time zones.
Anyone else that have encountered this?
Thanks in advance.

Problems with mobile me ical all day events sync between desktop and iphone

I just noticed all of my all day events show up one day earlier on my iphone than what they are on ical on my desktop (which is correct). This includes both subscribed events and one I have entered. Any ideas on a fix, it is rather annoying at this point.

Hi. Sorry I don't have the answer. Just another person with the same problem. Must be a bug that needs fixing. Thanks for pointing out that the List view works. Although, when I click on the individual diary entries from the list view the event details show up the incorrect date and time. My entries are all 19 hours out. So an entry that should be Monday at 1pm, shows up as Sunday at 6pm. Very annoying.
Anyone else who can help with this problem?

CUE timezone and daylight savings time

Hi,
Having issue where CUEs don't seem to be adjusting for daylight savings time. Timezone is set correct to EST but is a hour off because its daylight savings time now. The router and CUE are configured to use same NTP server and router has summertime setting and adjusts for DST fine and has correct time but CUE is a hour behind, like it is not doing DST.
Were on version 2.2(2) of CUE software.
This is also in indiana where the laws changed recently so maybe that has something to do with this.
Any ideas?

Very likely due to the change in Indiana. A workaround would be to change the timezone to an EST zone that observes DST such as America/Louisville (Eastern Time - Kentucky - Louisville Area).
Hope this helps.

Timezones and Daylight Savings

Hi,
Does anyone know how to manage Daylight Savings on BI publisher?
In the winter my system (MS-SQL based) records dates like "2008-02-24T00:00:00.000+00:00" i.e. GMT; in the summer to account for daylight savings, it records the date like "2008-04-04T00:00:00.000+01:00" - note the +01.00 at the end for British Summer time / Daylight Savings. (both instances the system is recording a date, rather than a date and a time).
My issue is that the first will always come back with 24th Feb 2008, whereas the second will come back with 3rd April 2008 on the template and there does not appear to be a switch or code to account for Daylight Savings either in the Administration part of BI nor the xdo/ format masks.
I'd rather have a solution for the whole of BI, rather than an Xdo solution so I can implement across the whole patch, but I am open to suggestions.
Thank you
Richard

Andy,
Thank you - works great. The issue was an odd one as it only manifest during the in the late summer of last year, but they all went away in the winter and have only recently started popping up again, in fact just after the clocks went forward....
It's a great solution, but I was hoping not to go through all my templates - ah well - another long night. Unless someone can save me.

Oracle TimeZones and Daylight savings time

Hi,
I am working on converting a bunch of old data to a new system. I ran a couple of validation reports for the end user to verify, it seems the times were off. I am in the EST but it seems the times in the db were stored as UTC.
So when you convert the time from UTC to EST you need to subtract 5 hours but when it is DST you only subtract 4.
I need to know how to figure out if a time was entered in DST or EST and then I can use something like a decode to decide how much to subtract.
DST Rules:
Stone Age -- 2006 First Sunday in April ,Last Sunday in October
2007 -- present DST Begins 2 a.m. (Second Sunday in March) DST Ends 2 a.m. (First Sunday in November)
Here is part of my select statment:
to_date(to_char(asgn.start_date-5/24,'DD-MON-YYYY')) effective_from,
I looked at Ask Tom and other sites but could not find a good working example that didn't have a hard coded date. Maybe it is not possible in a select statement.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide !!!! :)

This seemed to do it:

I don't see how it possibly can. A DATE datatype does not contain timezone. See the definition of what it contains in the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
>
12
DATE
Valid date range from January 1, 4712 BC, to December 31, 9999 AD. The default format is determined explicitly by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter or implicitly by the NLS_TERRITORY parameter. The size is fixed at 7 bytes. This datatype contains the datetime fields YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND. It does not have fractional seconds or a time zone.
>
So that DATE value has NO way of knowing what the timezone of the process that entered it was.
And depending on the meaning of that DATE column you don't even know for sure if the date value represents a date in that process's timezone. I can enter a date representing '01-Jan-2007' but that date doesn't necessarily mean it belongs to my timezone.

Multiple lines of event title and location failed to show for All Day event in SharePoint 2010 Calendar

I have a calendar with SPD workflow to display multiple lines for Title, Attendees, Location.
1. Created a custom columne "Breaklines" and set to "Multiple lines of text"
2. Set Monthly View to display the "Breaklines"
3. in SPD I created a workflow like this:
4. On the Calendar page, I used a javascript to remove the <br/>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script><script
type="text/javascript">
function updateCalendarWeekday()
   $('.ms-acal-title').each(function(){
    var str = $(this).html();
    str = str.replace(/</g,
"<");
    str = str.replace(/>/g,
">");
    $(this).html(str);
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('calendarEventLinkIntercept');
// hook into the existing SharePoint calendar load function
function calendarEventLinkIntercept()
   var OldCalendarNotify4a
= SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a;
   SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a
= function ()
      OldCalendarNotify4a();
      updateCalendarWeekday();
}</script><style>
.ms-acal-item
                HEIGHT:
60px !important
.ms-acal-summary-itemrow
                HEIGHT:
85px !important
}</style>
Everything works fine, except that when the All Day event is checked, the display screwed like this:
I guess that when the event is All Day Event, the Start Time and End Time is not filled by the user (although they show in the form as 12:00 am -11:59PM), so the top line space is now used to display Title and Location. Since the Top Space for
Start and End Time is a single line, it displays everything on one line. Plus the script does not act on this space.
Does anyone know a fix for this problem?
Thanks for any tips!

Is there a way to modify the javescript so that it also works in the "start-end time" space?

Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26. Very annoying indeed!
Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
event. But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
Does anyone know anything about this?

I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event. e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm. The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem. However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options. The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook. FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change. I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade. Grrrrr.....

'All day' events not syncing correctly

I am using a 9700 Bold and syncing to Outlook 2007 using BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.
'All day' calendar events are synced in both directions when I create them. However, when I delete an all-day event from my BlackBerry and then sync, it is not removed from Outlook.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

What OS version on the device? Look in Options >About on the 3rd line down and post the full version number.
