Convert this number to a date

Hi, from my database there is a field for date and it is a number like this: 1295944970. This corresponds to a date displayed as 1/25/2011 displayed on the website. Does anybody know how to convert the data 1295944970 from the database date field to the actual date of 1/25/2011? thanks in advance for any help.

The number you are trying to convert to a date is a Unix timestamp and it counts the number of seconds since 1/1/1970
So to convert that into a date in Crystal you use the following formula:
dateadd ("s",1295944970-18000, #1/1/1970#)

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?

Converting a number to a date

I am getting data in from an outside source table as a number ex: 200807 which stands for July 2008.
I need to move the data from the source table to another table and have it be a date.
So 200807 will end up as 07/01/2008 in the final table.
Any assistance is welcome.
Thanks

Use to_date:
SQL> select to_date('200807','YYYYMM') from dual;
TO_DATE('200807','YY
01-JUL-2008 00:00:00

How can I convert a number field in a to Date?

I have two columns in a table, and i would like to concate this two fiels to read Januaray-2010
CREATE TABLE "CATDB"."SC_DTL_MEASURE_DETAIL"
           "TIME_YEAR"                 NUMBER(*,0),
           "TIME_INCREMENT"            NUMBER(*,0),
   )Time_Incriment data need to be changed to month MON Januaray to December
1
2
3
etc
12
Time_year data is
2010
2010
etc

Well one way easiy way without changing your column datatypes (this would be the best way) is to first convert the numbers into text. Then concat this text. Then convert the text into a date value. Then print the date value as you want it to appear.
example
with testdata as (select 2010 TIME_YEAR, 1 TIME_INCREMENT from dual union all
                  select 2010 TIME_YEAR, 12 TIME_INCREMENT from dual)
select time_year, time_increment,
       to_char(to_date('01-'||to_char(TIME_INCREMENT,'FM00')||'-'||to_char(TIME_YEAR,'FM0000'),'DD-MM-YYYY') ,'FMMonth-YYYY')
from testdata;
2010     1     January-2010
2010     12     December-2010

Convert a number value to a date

I'm using Crystal Reports XI. I'm coming across a problem trying to convert a

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

CA Forum: Formula
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.

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 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?

Hi want to convert a number in crore, e.g. 10000000 to 1.00 Can anybody help on this?

Hi All,
I want to convert a number in crore format.
My basic problem is, I am using a custome format:
#,##0.00,,,%;
Here main task is done by ,,,%.
Each comma (,) is dividing a number by 1000. Thus three commas are dividing a number by 10^9 digits.
But I need number in crore (i.e. 10^7), Thus we have used this percent sign (%).
Here I can get required Value but appended percent (%) to it. I can temporary hide this using wrap text.
But I need exact solution to convert a number in crore.
Can anybody help me regarding the same.

System.DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact(inputDate, inputFormat, null);
datepresent = date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
return datepresent;
Input:

Hi,
Use TO_CHAR to get a string representation of a date, such as '110008'.
Use TO_NUMBER to get a NUMBER represnetation of that string.
SELECT     TO_NUMBER ( TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYDDD'))

It looks like you accidentally posted 3 copies of the same question, and then, after you realized the msitake, marked them as "Answered". That's very considerate of you. It would be even better if you changed the subject line of all but one of them to "Duplicate - Sorry!"; the remaining one you can leave as "Unanswered" until it really is.

APP-AR-12022: A cash receipt with this number,date,amount and customer alre

Hi,
There is a caution(Warning message) of Duplicate receipt entery in Oracle AR Receipts entry window which pops up while creating the receipts.
APP-AR-12022: A cash receipt with this number,date,amount and customer already exists.
Normally it comes when we enter similar receipt number, net receipt amount and receipt date towice.
Is it possible to customize the criteria for this caution.
Thanks.

You cannot customise this. If you want additional validation at the time of entry/update from forms, you can code special logic in custom pll. But you cannot change the standard functionality.

Convert time in miliiseconds to date format

I have a column in my table with datatype number(38,0) , in that column i have values in form of miliseconds since 1970 e.g 1152567973042...
i have a requirement to convert this time in milliseconds to today's date, which i can do as
1152567973042 / 3600 / 24 / 365 == x
1970 + x = today's date
is there a function in oracle supporting this, or i have to customize my requirements and write a function.
Thanks in anticipation

Your function will not work precisely because it does not account for leap years. You should use Oracle date math. If you add a number to an Oracle date datatype, it assumes that the number is in days. Oracle will automatically account for leap years. Try this:
DECLARE
mydate DATE;
milliseconds_since_1970 NUMBER(30,7);
BEGIN
milliseconds_since_1970 := ?;
mydate := TO_DATE( '01-JAN-1970', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + milliseconds_since_1970/(1000*60*60*24);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('mydate = ' || to_char( mydate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS' ) );
END;
This converts your milliseconds (replace ? with the number) to days and then adds the days to January 1, 1970. The result is an Oracle date datatype adjusted for leap years.
Oracle date datatypes have hours, minutes, and seconds. Since these were not specified for 1/1/1970, they default to zero. Since milliseconds_since_1970 has 7 decimal places, it will contain fractional days which Oracle converts to hours, minutes, and seconds.
I'm not sure what format Oracle stores date datatypes in. You have to convert them with a format string every time you use them.
