Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

Pages custom date format

I'm looking for a way to create a custom date format outside a Pages formatted cell. In other words, in text paragraphs, I need to be able to update the year only in a paragraph. Any ideas?

If you are looking for the capability within Pages to insert a custom date field-code like the following, outside of a table, then I am not aware of how it can be done. I used LibreOffice 4.0 to produce the following image.
When this was exported as a .docx file into Pages v4.3 on Mountain Lion, the YYYY format was replaced by a Pages date field. A right-button selection of this date in Pages offers an Edit Date & Time... menu item that produces the following panel:
There is no YYYY format customization on this panel within Pages.
It is possible to write an AppleScript service that runs from your Pages > Services menu and scans your Pages document for a date to convert to a YYYY replacement format. You may not want that either.
Did this answer your question?

Custom date format is not working for me

I have a bunch of dates imported from another spread sheet. They look like this:
February 04, 2014 at 09:24AM
Numbers 3.2 sees this as Text, so I went about making a custom date format. It looks like this:
However, I cannot make Numbers see it as a date. It keeps saying it is a string. If I select the cell containing the date and set the format to "My Custom Format", nothing happens - at all.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael,
The Custom format you designed will display a normal Dave and Time value in the way your import presents it. That's not what you want though.
To comvert the imported format to a regular Numbers format, use a conversion expression in a new column.
Assuming your Imported Date is in Column B, Insert a Column and use this expression:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(B, LEN(B)−11))+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(B, 7)
Format your new column to the way you want to see Date/Time in your document.

Custom Data Formatting Gone for Dates

Another new aspect of the updated Numbers app for OS X is the loss of customizing data formats. There are more options via a drop down, but there's less customization. For example. I had a use case where I'd take a column full of dates and would replicate it so the same data was in two columns. I then was able to customize the first column of dates to use a month shortcode only so it would render "Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr..." depending on the data in that column. The next colum with the same data I'd then customize to show only the day of the month. See the example below.
Date
Column 1
Date
Column 2
Jan
4
Mar
15
Oct
23
Presently, neither the shortnames for months by themselves nor the day of the month by itself is available as an option when working in the Data Format panel.
I'm assuming the customization was killed, but if someone knows if that's hidden elsewhere, please let me know!

Hi Bret,
I don't know the answer to your actual question as I tend to later adoption, and am not yet using Numbers 3.0, but here's a workaround (with some limitations, noted below).
Limitations:
Requires that the values in the cells are created by formulas, or can be created by formulas referencing another cell.
The resulting values will be a text string (column A) or a numeric value (column B), not a Date and Time value.
A: =LEFT(MONTHNAME(MONTH(formula)),3)
B: =DAY(formula)
In each, formula is the existing formula used to determine the D&T value currently in the cell.

Barry

Custom Data Format

I am using the new version of numbers and cannot find an option for custom data format. Has it been removed or am I missing something? Can someone point me out where it is? Either that, or let me know how to get a bigger currency list as the currency I am wanting is not there.

Hi Cullen,
Thank you for this workaround. I did as you said, and it works, unlike copy and paste from Numbers 2.3 to Numbers 3.0 .
In Numbers '09 (version 2.3) I created two Custom formats.
Column A is the inbuilt Date and Time format showing only the Date (my region's date format is Day Month Year).
Column B is a Custom Format to show short Month, space, short year.
Column C is the inbuilt format for Number.
Column D is a custom Format to show leading zeroes.
Then I did as you said and saved the Numbers 2 document (as a document for future use, not as a Template, because I am not sure how Templates are shared between the two versions on Numbers).
Then File, option key > Save As... a new name to preserve my original from harm by Numbers 3.0 .
In Numbers 3, (as you said) open the spare copy and the Custom formats are indeed listed. Format Inspector > Cell > Data Format
And they do work. Here is where I edited the cell content by entering new values from the keyboard:
I shall place a link to this thread on the thread named "Workarounds in Numbers 3.0?"
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372#
Thanks for this.

Date format in apex 4.1

hello
we have custom table for an apex application. In that table we have DATE type for column1(for eg)
When column1 is inserted via APEX, we use standard apex date picker and DD-MON-RRRR format. After we insert and when we refreshh the apex page to see
we see values like 10-OCT-10 not 10-OCT-2010,,
any idea or fix..
I tried in the source sql select statement [for that region] with to_date(column1,'DD-MON-YYYY') ..but was not successful
Also i followed same for insert statment with no luck
please advise
kp

Hi,
As you mentioned, its a date field in column, there are two approaches.
Method1: Go to your report attributes, click the pencil icon next to it and look
In Column Attributes Block:Number/Date Format
Method2: As its a date field, change like this in your report query
to_char(column1, 'DD-MON-YYYY')

Invalid date format after APEX upgrade

We are currently working on upgrading our applications from 1.6 to the new APEX 3.2 version. After the upgrade of one of our systems I have a tabular form that is returning the error 'Invalid date format found'. The date that is getting entered into the system is being displayed and choosed via a sql popup. The code for the pop up is
SQL CODE
create or replace view next_weeks as
with t as (
select
trunc(sysdate) + (rownum - 1) / 2 d
from
dual
connect
by rownum <= 28)
, call_info as (
select
c.call_identifier, c.callback_date, c.callback_cancelled
from uid_csr_schedule c
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) <
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
minus
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
=(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
union select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) >=
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
and
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
<
(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
order by o
The form then has the item set as a popup with a date format mask of dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM. The popup displays fine and the date is shown in the field but the error is received when I try to save the information. If I change the application global setting of date format mask to dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM then this error goes away however, it creates problems on all the rest of my pages that use this date in the where clause of the queries. Is there a way to solve the problem above without having to change the globalization parameter or do I need to change this parameter and then redo those queries?
Thanks for your help!
Amber

Amber,
It's interesting that the problem goes away if you set the global date format to be the same as the column level. The column level should trump the global setting. What process is returning the error? Are you sure it's the MRU or could it be something custom?
You could consider adding a process before the MRU fires that uses alter session to change the date format.

I18n for custom date format strings

I want to internationalize dates shorter than DateFormat.SHORT, in the form "M/d". For example, when the Locale is US, January 16 should display as 1/16, but if the Locale is MX (Mexico), it should display as 16/1.
It seems like a very simple problem date formatting problem, but it doesn't look like the DateFormat/SimpleDateFormat classes have any way of doing this. Am I missing something?
--Steven

You need to apply your own customized date pattern to get the formats you want. I suggest you put the patterns in resource bundles...the default pattern in your default bundle, and the Mexican pattern in your bundle for Mexico. Then do something like this:
<pre>
<code>
String newPattern = "M/d"; // retrieve from bundle instead
Date today = new Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat simpleFormat = (SimpleDateFormat)df;
simpleFormat.applyPattern(newPattern);
System.out.println(df.format(today);
</code>
</pre>

Custom Date format in InfoPath DatePicker without code

Hello,
I am trying to customize the date format in my date picker on my InfoPath form. I went to the date picker properties and was able to change it so that it displays the format in "14-Mar-01" but I want to really customize and have it formatted to look
like the following "MMM-YY" format. Is there a way to go about setting this format without custom code? I am unable to use any server side code for my forms.
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the date format like “MMM-YY” without custom code.
The date format which is set in InfoPath Form is different from the date column’s default format in SharePoint.
In SharePoint, the default format of the date column is depended on the selection of the “Time Zone”, “Region”, “Calendar” options in the “Regional Settings” of Site Settings.
However, the date format which is set in InfoPath Form only works on the items’ NewForm, EditForm, DispForm in the lists.
I recommend that you can create a calculated column based on the date column with this formula: =TEXT(Date,"MMM-YY").
Then, you can modify view to display the calculated column and hide the date column in the list.
The result is shown as below:

TES 6.1.x - custom date format

In 5.3.1. I was able to create my own custom dates. In 6.1 I create the format, click on Add Custom Format - click OK. When I go back to Variables - System Variables - System Date - Date Format I expect to see it in the list so I can select it, but it's not - I have to do all the steps all over again. Is this some kind of bug or is just me?

Custom date format -every time? dd/mm/yy

I'm ding my first biggish form so there is a list of issues I'm trying to resolve here, bear with me...
I'm in europe and we like the dd/mm/yy date format but this isn't a default option to choose from so I have to put in custom, dd/mm/yy every time I want a date field. I have around 12 per form at the moment so is there not a way for Acrobat to 'remember' it, even within the document, never mind the 'prefs' for the whole program. I can't find anything under language or international options.
Thanks,
Matt

After setting it, right-click the field and select "Use current properties
as new defaults".

Does anyone know how to make custom date formats?

Hi,
In lightroom 4 I found a really useful tip where you can alter the file that controls how teh date format part of the import dialogue works - and more importantly it allows you to choose teh folder locations too, so when I import from another camera I can have the folder structure how I like.
The annoying thing is that I know its there and it will just be a case of copying the file I made to the right location.

Typical, as soon as I post I find it!!
For anyone else looking for this its a file called: TranslatedStrings.txt
This should go in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5\Resources\en
You may need to make the en folder (and the file for that matter I forget)
The formatting I used was this:
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_1/Template=Pictures\FromCamera\Cameras\5D Mark III\%Y_%m_%d"
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_2/Template=Pictures\FromCamera\Cameras\DMC-LX7\%Y_%m_ %d"
"$$$/AgImportDialog/ShootArrangement_3/%Y_%m_%d"
Hope that helps someone
