Convert a number value to a date

Post Author: Jeremiah
CA Forum: Formula
I'm using Crystal Reports XI. I'm coming across a problem trying to convert a
number value to a date. I'm using formula below: if not isnull({qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE}) or {qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE}="0"the(stringvar MyDate:= ToText({StoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE},0,"");cdate(2000 + val(left(MyDate,1)),val(mid(MyDate,2,2)),val(right(MyDate,2))))
For this line, I'm receiving an error msg of that "A month number must be between 1 and 12
Here are some of the field's data examples
70608
70501
0
61231 Would anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

You are getting the error "A month number must be between 1 and 12" because you are trying to convert 0 to a date. The third data item in your field data.
I suggest you default the date to some date when it is zero or eliminate 0 as a date from your formula such as:
if not isnull({qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE})
then(stringvar MyDate:= ToText({StoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE},0,"")
else
If {qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE} = 0 then (stringvar MyDate:= "00101"); // If date is zero then it is set to 2000/01/01
After this, you will not have problems with a zero date.

This is an error due to conversion failed from character string to int datatype. Infact, the table column contains "NO" value which you are trying to convert to Int/SUM which is illegal. Without your code and table structure, its difficult to pinpoint your
actual issue. But check, all columns for value "NO".

Convert this number (2454664,29112) to Date and Time.

Hi,
I want to convert this number (2454664,29112) to Date and Time.
I wrote the query :
select to_date(2454664,'J')+ numtodsinterval(29112,'second') from dual
It give the results 16/07/2008 08:05:12
but the correct results is 15/07/2008 08:05:12
Is it correct?
Please help me.

Don't know whether the result is correct or not, but has select to_char(sysdate,'J') from dual to do anything with it?
Regards

to be more specific
select to_char(now,'J') || ',' || to_char(now,'sssss') the_number

How are you assigning the value to variable @VATSchemaType? Are you assigning multiple values? if yes, then you need to better join with the values by splitting the values.

Can you help me to correct this query? Should I use idmv_entry_simple as start?

Hi Michaela,
I would recommend you to use idmv_value_* for non reference attributes and idmv_link_* for reference attributes for performance reasons. Try this:
count (distinct mskeyvalue.mskey) from idmv_value_basic_active mskeyvalue, idmv_value_basic_active department,
idmv_value_basic_active type_, idmv_value_basic_active position1, idmv_value_basic_active position2
where mskeyvalue.SearchValue = 'MSKEYVALUE' and mskeyvalue.SearchValue = 'USER1234'
and department.SearchValue = 'MX_DEPARTEMENT' and department.SearchValue between 20 and 50
and type_.SearchValue = 'Z_TYPE' and type_.SearchValue = 'LOCAL'
and position1.SearchValue = 'ZPOSITION1' and position1.SearchValue = '12345'
and position2.SearchValue = 'ZPOSITION2' and position2.SearchValue = '12345'
and mskeyvalue.mskey = department.mskey and mskeyvalue.mskey = type_.mskey and mskeyvalue.mskey = position1.mskey
and mskeyvalue.mskey = position2.mskey

In your post you ask how to convert a string value to a date. The value returned from the Get-AdUser is already a date. It does not need to be converted.
Bill has sshown one way to convert a date to a string and there are other methods. You need to clarify your question.
If you are really trying ot convert strings to dates then you can start with this:
[datetime]'01/21/1965 13:33:23'
Most date strings aer autodetected by the class.

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value to data type int error

Hi, I am working on a report which is off of survey information and I am using dynamic pivot on multiple columns.
I have questions like Did you use this parking tag for more than 250 hours? If yes specify number of hours.
and the answers could be No, 302, 279, No and so on....
All these answers are of varchar datatype and all this data comes from a partner application where we consume this data for internal reporting.
When I am doing dynamic pivot I get the below error.

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value to data type int

Hi, I am unable to resolve this error and would like some assistance please.
The below query produces the following error message -
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'NCPR' to data type int.
Select Pc2.Assess,
                Select Pc1.Title
                From Pc1
                Where Pc1.Assess = Pc2.Assess
            ) [Title]
        From Pc2
However, when I run the query below I get the results shown in the image . Ie. nothing. Pc1 & Pc2 are aliases and are the same table and the assess field is an int. I found NCPR in one cell but that column (prop) is not used in the query. The table
is nearly 25k rows.
SELECT * FROM Pc1 WHERE Pc1.Assess LIKE '%NCPR%' OR ISNUMERIC(Pc1.Assess) = 0
Thank you

WHERE ISNUMERIC(id) = 1 and there are obviously no 'NCPR' records in the view as per my previous post.
That is a bad assumption - SQL Server does not have to evaluate the query in the order you are expecting it to.
Take this simple example
CREATE TABLE #example
col1 VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
INSERT INTO #example VALUES ('1'), ('2'), ('NaN')
SELECT * FROM
SELECT * FROM #example
WHERE ISNUMERIC(col1) = 1
) X
(3 row(s) affected)
col1
1
2
(2 row(s) affected)
compare to
CREATE TABLE #example
col1 VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
INSERT INTO #example VALUES ('1'), ('2'), ('NaN')
SELECT * FROM
SELECT * FROM #example
WHERE ISNUMERIC(col1) = 1
) X
WHERE col1 = 1
(3 row(s) affected)
col1
1

Not converting anything but get error: "Conversion failed converting varchar value 'X' to data type int"

I have created the following trigger that fires instead of an UPDATE statement and copies the altered data over to an Audit table before proceeding with the requested UPDATE. After doing so, I wrote a simple UPDATE statement for testing:
UPDATE Products
SET ProductCode = 'XYZ 2014', ProductName = 'Special Edition Tamborine', ListPrice = 74.99, DiscountPercent = .5
WHERE ProductID = 28;
When I run this, I get the following message:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Products_UPDATE, Line 14
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'X' to data type int.
Here is my trigger:
IF OBJECT_ID('Products_UPDATE') IS NOT NULL
DROP TRIGGER Products_UPDATE; -- LINE 14
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Products_UPDATE
ON Products
INSTEAD OF UPDATE
AS
DECLARE @ProductID int, @CategoryID int, @ProductCode varchar, @ProductName varchar,
@Description varchar, @ListPrice money, @DiscountPercent money, @DateUpdated datetime
BEGIN
SELECT @ProductID = ProductID, @CategoryID = CategoryID, @ProductCode = ProductCode,
@ProductName = ProductName, @Description = Description, @ListPrice = ListPrice,
@DiscountPercent = DiscountPercent, @DateUpdated = GetDate()
FROM deleted;
INSERT INTO ProductsAudit
VALUES (@ProductCode, @CategoryID, @ProductCode, @ProductName, @ListPrice,
@DiscountPercent, @DateUpdated);
SELECT @ProductID = ProductID, @CategoryID = CategoryID, @ProductCode = ProductCode,
@ProductName = ProductName, @Description = Description, @ListPrice = ListPrice,
@DiscountPercent = DiscountPercent, @DateUpdated = GetDate()
FROM inserted;
UPDATE Products
SET CategoryID = @CategoryID, ProductCode = @ProductCode,
ProductName = @ProductName, Description = @Description,
ListPrice = @ListPrice, DiscountPercent = @DiscountPercent
WHERE ProductID = (SELECT ProductID FROM inserted)
END
I am confused a bit by (1) the location of the error and (2) the reason. I have looked over my defined data types and they all match.
Could someone offer a second set of eyes on the above and perhaps guide me towards a solution?
Thank you.

This is an issue in this trigger. It will work for single record updates alone. Also for your requirement you dont need a INSTEAD OF TRIGGER at all.
You just need this
IF OBJECT_ID('Products_UPDATE') IS NOT NULL
DROP TRIGGER Products_UPDATE;
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Products_UPDATE
ON Products
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ProductsAudit
SELECT ProductID,
CategoryID,
ProductCode,
ProductName,
ListPrice,
DiscountPercent,
GetDate()
FROM deleted;
END
Now, in your original posted code there was a typo ie you repeated the column ProductCode twice
I think one should be ProductID which is why you got error due to data mismatch (ProductID is int and ProductName is varchar)
see below modified version of your original code
IF OBJECT_ID('Products_UPDATE') IS NOT NULL
DROP TRIGGER Products_UPDATE; -- LINE 14
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Products_UPDATE
ON Products
INSTEAD OF UPDATE
AS
DECLARE @ProductID int, @CategoryID int, @ProductCode varchar, @ProductName varchar,
@Description varchar, @ListPrice money, @DiscountPercent money, @DateUpdated datetime
BEGIN
SELECT @ProductID = ProductID, @CategoryID = CategoryID, @ProductCode = ProductCode,
@ProductName = ProductName, @Description = Description, @ListPrice = ListPrice,
@DiscountPercent = DiscountPercent, @DateUpdated = GetDate()
FROM deleted;
INSERT INTO ProductsAudit
VALUES (@ProductID, @CategoryID, @ProductCode, @ProductName, @ListPrice,
@DiscountPercent, @DateUpdated);
SELECT @ProductID = ProductID, @CategoryID = CategoryID, @ProductCode = ProductCode,
@ProductName = ProductName, @Description = Description, @ListPrice = ListPrice,
@DiscountPercent = DiscountPercent, @DateUpdated = GetDate()
FROM inserted;
UPDATE Products
SET CategoryID = @CategoryID, ProductCode = @ProductCode,
ProductName = @ProductName, Description = @Description,
ListPrice = @ListPrice, DiscountPercent = @DiscountPercent
WHERE ProductID = (SELECT ProductID FROM inserted)
END
I would prefer doing it as former way though

How can i read every"number" value and not only the 1st?

in the vi only the first "number" value(from the data acquisition)is read in the small loop.how can i make every value to be read?every value must be compared with the "numeric" constant,and,if greater the led must turn on.afterwards,when a value which is less than the "numeric" is found the led must turn off.please answer or send mail to [email protected]

The more I look at your program, the less I understand it.
Why are you setting number = number in a case if SO2 = ""? number always equals number.
In your sequence frames 1 and 4, you have no control over which write (date or time) happens first. Just placing one function to the left of another doesn't make it happen first if your wiring doesn't create data dependency. Review the section on Data Dependency in chapter 5 of the LabView User's Manual.
It looks you're writing to and reading from the same file using Write File and Read Lines from File.vi. Why read back data you just wrote? You have the data on your diagram. If you want to convert it from string to numeric, use a Sring/Number Conversion function from the String palette.
On Read Lines from File.vi (which I'm not sure you even need), you should use a shift register for the start of read offset rather than a local variable for mark after read (chars.). With a shift register, you can initialize it to 0 when the VI starts. Using a local, if you restart the VI, it will try to startup from where you left off the last time, but you just opened the file for create or replace.
In your sequence frames 2 and 3, why do you wait for the number to be less than the numeric before writing a carriage return to the file? Also, LabView has a End of Line constant which adapts to the expected value for the operating system. That's generally more flexible than a Carriage Return.
It looks to me like you're overusing control refnums. You don't need to use a control refnum and a property node to set or read a control's value if you can wire directly to the control's terminal.
I really don't understand what you're doing with pause and variants. I may be missing the point, but it looks like you made this much more complicated than it needs to be. Why not keep it a boolean?
For your pause-path, you open the file but never close it. You can lose data that way. You also open it using open function 3, create new file. You'll get an error if the file already exists.
On a general note, your diagram would be easier to read if you were more selective in how you routed your wires: you have wires on top of wires, wires running under sub-VIs, wires running in the frame of a while loop, wires running under labels.
I think there's a temptation to overuse sequences. I don't think you need one here. As I mentioned in my earlier message, case structures and shift registers will be more useful to you.

How to read a file with value of RAW data type? Please help

Hi Experts,
   I have a file with RAW data like DE864E48833BFFF1B805001CC4EF4BFA
   I am using GUI_UPLOAD.
   But this FM is throwing error.
   I tried by giving FILETYPE as ASC. The output internal table for this FM contains a field of type c size 32.
   Now it is able to read the file but I want to assign this value to a RAW data type variable.
   This it is unable to do. How to convert the char value to RAW data type?
Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
The documentation for the function module contains an example for RAW upload.

Essbase 9.3 Calc scripts. Pb with dates. How to convert (string = number) ?

Hello,
I've a problem with Essbase(Planning?) Scripts on version 9.3. It looks simple but I do not find any (clean) solution :
On my Essbase database, I have a member called "Reference_Date" on my axis Indicators. It is a date data type, that is to say, it displays a number corresponding to a YYYYMMDD format. For example : 20091029 for October 29th 2009.
In calc scripts I often need to compare the month included in that "Reference_Date" with the current Member of my Time Axis (I have 12 Months members based on the format M02 for February for example). The final aim is to calculate a number of complete years since that "Reference_Date".
But theses two elements are not of the same "type" (one is a number value and the other is a "member" in Time Axis). So I'm forced to convert one of this two elements in order to compare it.
For example I can extract the month value of the "Reference_Date"' and put an "M" before it to have a Time member equivalent or I can convert the member Name M10 to a number (10))
in both cases I have the same type problem : I don't know how to convert a string into a number nor how to convert a number into a string.
(For example @CONCATENATE doesn't work with numbers). and that my only remaining problem.
I didn't find any Essbase Function which do this (conversion number <=>string).
Is anyone have an Idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

I don't know any way for you to compare your data against your metadata. Not directly. To me it makes little enough sense to try that I'm not surprised the developers didn't provide for it.
I've converted member names to strings, manipulated the strings (calc script functions are not good at this), and turned them back into member names, but that's really the only use I've had for string manipulation. I don't think an equivalency operator even exists for string data. And I see no way to begin thinking of a member name, once converted to a string, as a number.
It makes even less sense to me to try thinking of a data value as a string. Even text values in Sys 11 are stored as numbers. Not encoded characters, but just a number to look up somewhere.
I think you can do what you want though, with something like this...
IF (@ISMBR("FY08"))
vYr = 2008;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("FY09"))
vYr = 2009;
ENDIF;
IF (@ISMBR("M01"))
vMth = 1;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("M02"))
vMth = = 2;
ENDIF;
"Years_Since_Reference" = ((vYr * 100) + Mth) - ("Reference_Date" / 12);
Obviously, the math will need some work, coz that doesn't actually work, but the logic above essentially turns your metadata into numbers, which is what you are after.
Good luck,

Convert an integer value that was created with the Excel DATEVALUE formula to a valid date?

Hello everyone,
How can I convert an integer value that was created with the Excel DATEVALUE formula to a valid date in SSIS?
Is this even possible?
For example:
=DATEVALUE("8/22/2008") will format the cell to display 39682.
Reading the column as a string to get the int value (39682) - how can I turn this into a valid date using SSIS and then importing the real date to sql server?
Thank you!

You can use Script component for this and convert your integer values to Date. An example here is following:
CultureInfo provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
string dateString = "08082010";
string format = "MMddyyyy";
DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider);
