Change Date format to Text for Import

I have used Sql Server Integration Services to extract some data into Excel. When I load the files it seems that not all the time the dates are formatted with the time. If I format the field this just changes the display value and not the underlying
field value. I have tried to copy the field into notepad, add a new field format this as text and then paste the desired format. But this also does not
always work. Is there an easy way to change the date/time value so it is always in a consistent format to import into another system?

Hi SBolton,
If I understand correctly, you want to change a column from Date data type to Text while importing data to Excel.
If in this scenario, we can use Data Conversion Transformation or Derived Column Transformation to convert the original Date data type to Text data type, then use the new column maps to the corresponding Destination column.
The following screenshots are for your references:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Changing Date Format in ALV List for VKM1 transaction

Hi All,
I have to change date format to MM/DD/YY in the ALV list display of VKM1 transaction. There are user exits available.
I am trying to use EDIT_MASK option of the field catalog.. Without changing the code, I give value as __:__:__ or MM/DD/YY in the EDIT_MASK field of the fieldcatalog during DEBUG. Just before the RESUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY is called.. but it is NOT showing any change in the display.
Please advice any alternate way to do the same.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
If u`ve access to User parameters, try tcode SU01 and give ur user name in the first parameter. Navigate to the defaults tab and you can find options for Date display and decimals display. Now identify the date format to your liking and change the same. From the next logon in ur user name, changes are reflected on your reports.

Change date format in reporting (query)

I need to change date format from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in reporting (query)

Hi Suresh,
Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
Now go to defaults and change the date format.
Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

How to change Data Format

I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
I need help.
Thanks in advance
Marco

Marco,
It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

How to change date format in BR?

Hi all!
Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

Hi,
the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
Cheers.
