Convert Number to the date format

Hello,
In CRM, i want to input the number as a parameter and convert the number into Date format. Is there any function module in CRM which accepts the number and gives the date as output .
Example.
suppose input given is 734484
output : 12-12-2011 .
The number 734484 reflects the total number of days from '0000' to 12-12-2011

'3' is a string. It is not equalt to the string '03'.
Do you want a NUMBER or a string?
If you want the 1-character string '3', then use 'fmMM' instead of 'MM'.
select TO_CHAR ( to_date ('MAR', 'Mon', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=American')
                , 'FMMM'
                )   AS m
from    dualTO_CHAR sometimes adds padding (sometimes spaces, sometimes '0's) to make elements a constant width. For example, some months need 2 characters for the 'MM' format, so TO_CHAR, by default, left-pads with '0's to make all months 2 characters, whether they need 2 characters or not. Using 'FM' (case insensitive) IN the format string changes whether or not this kind of padding will be added.
You could also use LTRIM to remove the leading '0's in this case, but why remove them when it's easier not to generate them in the first place?

NEED ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN FOR DATE FORMAT

Need something like this :
ALTER TABLE ABC
ALTER COLUMN DATE1 AS (DD/MM/YYYY)
need to appear in this format (29/03/2014) in the table.
also needs to be recorded in DB in that format.

changed system date format, works. Thanks!
You should always store values as dates itself in date/datetime related field in SQLServer
The formatting can very easily be done in your front end (presentation layer) using format function
Even in T-SQL you can use CONVERT or FORMAT functions to get the date values in the format you want

I don't follow you? Anyway, Olaf Helper's answer was the solution.
SQL Server has a data type called DATETIME. To correctly query dates, it is easier to use this as it allows the SQL engine to do all the calculations for you, also the canonical format for dates in any database language is YYYY-MM-DD, this ensures correctly
tiered dates that are stored in the right order. The way you store data and the way you display it should be kept as two seperate entities. This is the ISO standard and has been thoroughly investigated ...alot to say the least. This is where the term "front-end"
and "back-end" developers come from, and also the distinction between server-side and client-side scripting.
To cut a long story short, take the advice of the multiple professionals here, and follow standards otherwise you'll find yourself stuck, or worse, your legacy code will make someone tear their hair out.

MS Excel automatically converts numeric fields to date format

I have at least 2 different spreadsheets where this happens. I maintain them for months, adding, changing, deleting data. They contain lots of data elements (numeric, text, date, etc). Some columns are all numeric, some all dates,
etc. Then suddenly when I open the spreadsheet, my numeric formatted data has been converted to date format. I see lots of # signs in cells, which is an indication that this happened, and selecting an affected cell shows a date, generally in the
early 1900s, depending on the original numeric value that was in the cell. I convert the fields back to numeric, but sometime later the same problem occurs -- numeric fields are now date formatted. I cannot identfy any specific change that I make
that would cause this. And I only recognize it as having occurred when I open the spreadsheet, not anytime during its maintenance. I am using MS Excel 2007 SP2 in a Windows XP SP3 environment. The machine is well maintained and updated /
kept current by our corporate IT group. I have done numerous Internet searches and cannot find anything like this in any other blog. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Were some of the these data imported from a .csv file? As far as I know, data formats cannot be saved in .csv file. If this is the situation, try this:
Save a copy of your .csv file changing the extension of your file from .csv to .txt
open excel.
go to DATA --> Import external data --> Import data --> browse to find the .txt file you made earlier
The text import wizard should open.
Click on delimited, click next
click comma, click next
You should now see all columns appear with heading GENERAL --> highlight the columns with the values that are changing to date and click TEXT (top right) instead. The heading of these columns should now change to TEXT.
click finish
Excel will now treat the column as text when it imports the data and will not change them to dates
If this is not the situation, this issue might be caused by some add-ins.
Start Excel in safe mode: Press and hold the
CTRL key, and then click the Excel program to start. Then, click File > Open to open the Excel file.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.

InputDate Column Filter Date Format Problem

Hi,
I have an af:table with filterable columns and some of these columns are based on Timestamp VO attributes.
When I enter a date filter - either manually or from the associated date picker, the filter is applied correctly using a date format of dd/MM/yyyy.
However, when the table is subsequently refreshed, the filter value is still present but has been re-formatted to "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mi:ss" format (default format for a Timestamp datatype?). The an error appears in the column filter component - "Error: The date is not in the correct format".
If I want to retain the filter value across queries, how can this be achieved?
My table column is defined as follows:
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.name}"
                                               filterable="true" sortable="true"
                                               headerText="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.label}"
                                               id="c59"
                                               rendered='#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.displayHint != "Hide"}'
                                               displayIndex="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.displayHeight}">
                                        <f:facet name="filter">
                                            <af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
                                                <af:convertDateTime
                                                                    pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
                                            </af:inputDate>
                                        </f:facet>
                                        <af:outputText value="#{row.LastReadingDate}" id="ot59">
                                            <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
                                        </af:outputText>
                                    </af:column>I've tried messing with the properties of the af:convertDateTime component, but I'm thinking the problem is in the population of the filter facet inputDate with the vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate value. This does not appear to be re-formatted for display - but I don't know how to manipulate this value...
Or is there a better way? This seems more complicated than it should be...?
By the way, I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 for my development.
Thanks.

Does it work fine if you change the pattern for convertDateTime?
I.e
change
<f:facet name="filter">
                                            <af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
                                                <af:convertDateTime
                                                                    pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
                                            </af:inputDate>
                                        </f:facet>to
<f:facet name="filter">
                                            <af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
                                                <af:convertDateTime
                                                                    pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
                                            </af:inputDate>
                                        </f:facet>-Arun

Convert varchar2 field into date formatted: DD-MON-YYYY

Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this matter as I know it takes your time and expertise. I am pretty new to SQL but learning my way through it just have an issue with a text to date field conversion. It is an Oracle 10g database and I am writing in SQL. There is a field called Demand which is formatted in varchar2 format of ddmmyy. There is also a field that is formatted as a date called Payment which is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY.
Essentially I need to do a simple Payment >= Demand, however as you can see that is some issue with that being a varchar2 field. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that type of expression against those two fields. Was thinking about possibly converting the varchar2 to a date but not sure how to get to that DD-MON-YYYY format.
Also there are situations where this Demand field will often times be null as it would have never recieved any outbound correspondence in the past and would not have a date at all.
Thanks

Hi,
It's hard to detect bad dates in pure SQL, especially if you need to be precise about when February 29 is valid.
It's easy with a user-define function, like the one in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3669932&#3669932].

Column in DATE format

Hello Everybody
I have a report did Apex, this report has a column which data type is DATE but by default the Apex put it in the format : DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS
But I only want that his column has the format DD/MM/YYYY
I know that is posible convert this field using the function TO_CHAR(date, format) but in the report I want to sort this field considering that this filed is in date data type not in char.
Also I know that I can use the function EXTRACT for concatening the day, month and year and after convert to date in the format 'dd/mm/yyyy'; but I don´t want to write many code.
I don't want to do some like this:
TO_DATE(
EXTRACT( 'DAY' FROM DateFiled )||'/'|| EXTRACT( 'MONTH' FROM DateFiled )||'/'|| EXTRACT( 'YEAR' FROM DateFiled ), 'DD/MM/YYYY' )
Do you know how to convert to this date format (DD/MM/YYYY) preserving the format?
I expect your prompt reply.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Best Regards

Hi Eric
One of the really cool features of the later versions of APEX is the ability to set a default "Application Date Format".
This is done in the Application xx>Shared Components>Definition then select the "Globalization" tab.
You can select from a list of pre-defined date formats, or enter your own.
My preference is "DD-Mon-YYYY" which is not in the list.
Just leave your date fields as regular DATE type in the select (no formatting in the select).
This Application Date Format is then used as the default for ALL dates for which you don't specifically set (another) date format
This is also selecable in the Display options of a "Date Picker (Use Application Date Format)" LOV - for any date page items that you want to provide a date picker.
This really simplifies the effort in getting a consistent look and feel - and keeping a constant standard throughout the application.
The other benefit is that you can make a change in one place, and ALL the dates (without a specific date format specification) will change format - just like that.
This is just one of the features that makes APEX the most productive - and cool - systems around.
Enjoy!

How to convert the numeric to date format

HI ,
     We have created the date KF and selected the data type as DEC-numeric or counter and add in the cube.
      the data for this fields in the cube are in numerics like 734.504, but when we execute the report it is converted in to date format dd.mm.yyyy.
                My issue how this conversion is working in the backend while executing the report.
Regards.
venkata

Conversion is happening because of the type you had selected for the KF while creating it.
Check the type of the Key figure?
While creating the KF you might have selected the Type as Date and Data type -DEC : Counter or amount field with comma and sign.
that's the reason why you are getting the output values displayed in dd.mm.yyyy format.
For amount field - create a KF with type "AMOUNT" and unit -0currency or specify the currency of that region.
regards

Date format in Table Editor

I am using Oracle 8.1.7. I tried to set the date format by setting the NLS_DATE_FORMAT variable, but it worked for sqlplus only. How can I set it for the Enterprise Manager's Table Editor? Thanks

I guess you have to change that parameter in init.ora file of the database. According to what I know you can not set that format in OEM.

SQL* Loader to load data format into tables??????

Hi,
Hai I am very much new to Oracle. I am trying to load data into a table using SQL*Loader and i getting error while it is using the data format.
the format used in data file is "Sep 6 2001 12:00:00:000AM"
and when i used to_date( :accountDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM or PM') function it throws me an exception like
"ORA-01821: date format not recognized". so anybody can help me to insert data with out changing the data file, whould be really helpfull
thanks
vijay

Also it looks like you need to change your date format mask.
If your data is formatted as "Sep 6 2001 12:00:00:000AM"
then you should use to_date( :accountDate, 'Mon DD YYYY HH:MI:SSAM')
This will work with a two digit second field, but not a three digit second field.
