Changing date format in CSV import
I'm importing banking statements in csv (comma separated values) to Numbers but dates of transactions are not being properly formatted. My Apple-->System Pref-->International-->Format is set to Canada so that 5th of January 2008 can be shown as 5-Jan-08 or 05/01/08 which is my preference. However, the dates in data from bank will interpret this as 01-May-08 (the bank is Canadian). Is there a simple way I can reformat the data correctly?
thanks, hopefully I'm clear enough.
Before importing these datas, set your system to USA
Given that, the dates would be correctly imported.
Then, reset the setting to Canada.
Numbers will then display the dates using you preferred setting.

Saving chosen date format in csv-file
I format all cells in one column to a dateformat dd-mmm-yy
i.e. 01-jan-06, works fine I have all the dates in the year by clicking on first cell.
BUT I can not SAVE the file as csv keeping the format - it is saved as 01-01-2006, which I can not use.
I do this in Excel all the time - do I have to do something special in Staroffice Calc 8.0 ?A similar issue faced here trying to save a worksheet (Staroffice Version 8) in .csv format. The worksheet had one column for date of birth formatted as "dd/mm/yyyy" and another one for age using formula "=TODAY()-B6", formatted as "yy". In the corresponding .csv file the age column showed up as "dd/mm/yyyy" as against the required "yy" format . On saving the data in text file with the space delimited option, the date of birth column showed up in the "mm/dd/yyy" format - the age column however was in the desired "yy" format.
Here is a workaround though;
On your existing staroffice worksheet format all the data just as would like it appear in the .csv file. The trick is to transfer the data into an intermediate application that does not understand the underlying formatting or formula, which in our case will be notepad. Copy the entire range of data from your staroffice worksheet into notepad. Minimise notepad after the data has been pasted. Save and exit the existing staroffice workbook. Open a new workbook, select the entire range that is going to hold the data and then format the cells as "text". Now, maximise notepad, select all the data using the edit menu and copy it into the new worksheet. The data should appear just as it was in the original worksheet, but without any formatting or formula. You can now proceed to save the data in a .csv file without having to worry about changed date formats.
However, if you have come across some other method through which this issue has been resolved, please post here or drop me a a mail

Try using EVALUATE function.

Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

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.

Does any one know how to do it?
Thanks

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
MarcoMarco,
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 OBIEE
Hello
I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
