Date and Time text format

Hello, I am working with a .csv file that i extracted from a SCADA. When I convert that file into excel 2013, all of the dates become unusable. It appears like the dates have become text. I have tried to convert the date columns into the date format from
the conversion wizard, leave them in the general format, but it stays the same.
The problem with the solutions I have found so far browsing the internet is that my date format appears like this: 06/06/2014 12:58:37 p.m., and no one has given any solution for this kind of format.
Another issue I am facing is that since it is a file extracted from a SCADA I have at least 5000 registers and the width of the file can go from A to AZ, where half of the columns are dates.
If anyone can help me with this, I would be very grateful

Re: a date or something
A number/date will align right in a cell. If your "Date" aligns right then just change the cell number format to meet your needs.
If Excel is treating the cell contents as text (aligned left in cell) then...
It appears as if the punctuation (dots) in the "p.m." suffix makes Excel read the entry as text.
Removing all dots can be done using Edit/Replace or whatever it is called in xl2013.
That may be enought to change the entries to dates. If not you then have to...
1. Change the number format of the cells to the appropriate date format.
2. Force the conversion of the cells to a number/date.
(enter 1 in an empty cell, copy the cell, select the data, use Paste Special (with the 'Multiply' option check marked)

Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Formatting Date and Time in Smartforms.

Hello,
I'm a newbie and I'm working with smartforms.
My requirement is to get the following format of date and time in a text within a template.
'MMM DD HH:MM'
Like : Jan 01 12:45
I have tried SAPScript Commands like 'SET DATE MASK' but that doesn't appear to work.
Do I have to use a Function Module?
Please help out. A sample code will be appreciated!
Regards & Thanks,
Arun G Nair

Hi,
please see this code
DATA: V_DATE1 TYPE STRING
SELECT SINGLE LTX FROM T247
   INTO MONTH_NAME
   WHERE SPRAS = SY-LANGU
   AND MNR = SY-DATUM+4(2).
CONCATENATE MONTH_NAME SY-DATUM+6(2) DATE1(4)

Validation on data and time format

Hi
In a flat file a date and time fill in but user. And the data and time format should always be fill in with the format <DDMMYYYY> <HHMMSS>
is there a FM which check whether user has put the wrong date format such as <YYYYMMDD> or <MMDDYYYY> instead for the the one mention above.
Please advise whether there is a FM which check on the format on the time stamp also.
Note: the input of the data and time is done by the user.
Thank

Hi,
       use the new OOPs concept,
PARAMETERS dateTYPE c LENGTH 10.
DATA matcher TYPE REF TO cl_abap_matcher.
* For date
matcher = cl_abap_matcher=>create( pattern = `[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4}`
                                   ignore_case = 'X'
                                   text = date ).
IF matcher->match( ) IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE 'Wrong Format' TYPE 'I'.
ELSE.
MESSAGE 'Format OK' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.
like dis pattern for time :
[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}
pattern for timestamp:
[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{2,4} [0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{2}

How do you change the date and time format in Pages

I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change. I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats. I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages. NO change.

Hi Uncle,
Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

Date and time format please

I have a date and time held separately eg. int day, int month, int year. same with hours seconds and minutes
Is there an easy way to format this information into date and time please!!

You might just build a string and convert it to a Date.
                 import java.util.*;
                 import java.text.*;
     /** getDateFromString converts a String to a Date according to the szPattern format.
      ** The szPattern format is based on a SimpleDateFormat custom format
      ** or the Date.toString( ) output format as a default
     public     Date     getDateFromString( String stringDate, String szPattern )     {
          SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter;
          Date myDate = new Date( );
          if( szPattern.length( ) <= 0 )
               szPattern = new String( szDefaultPattern );
          dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( szPattern, currentLocale );
          try {
               myDate = dateFormatter.parse( stringDate );
          } catch( ParseException e ) {
               P.rintln( e );
          return( myDate );
     }The following class variables are defined elsewhere:
currentLocale = new Locale("en","US");
szDefaultPattern = "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy";

Why can't I set the date and time insert to the format I want?

I would like the date to be formatted in the short form on my docs. However whenever I insert date and Time it always come out at the long form i.e.
Monday, 15 April 2013.
Right clicking allows me to edit it but the next time I inset it the long form re-appears.
I've tried to do it via the system preferences > language and text > region > customise route but the same thing thing happens. I choose the short form at the top of the choices but it still comes out in the long form on the docs.
Only a minor point but it is irritating 'cos it should be simple (probably is 'cept I'm a bit slow).
I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3
Thanks
W.

Wilfred. I found this in one of the More like this posts >>>>> opposite your first post. It might apply if you are on Pages 08. Insert Date/Time: Apple Support Communities
I would never have thought of double or right clicking on the date itself. I haven't tested it to see what formats exist. One last suggestion, if we don't resolve it here, write a new post and put it in the iWork pages columns. There you may meet up with the gurus in that persuasion.

Ack file date and time format is same as in source xml format

Hi...All,
1) my scenario is file-rfc-file using BPM,
we are getting file in xml format from source along with timestamp and this data will be going to R/3 and the acknowledgement (success or failure) file will be sending back to source system.
in this sceneario we have to fulfill in the follwing client requirement
File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Is it possible to make it as the following? if it is possible
could u please let me know how to fulfill the follwing requirement.
ACK File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Where <same File1 date and time> format = u2018YYYYMMDDhhmmssu2019 .
2) Is the XML file name visible in the SAP-XI monitoring screen and will it help to trace the messages?
thanks in advance,
Pasi.

Hi,
I didnot under stand your first question coulf you be more specfic.
2. Ans : In general , we will follow the below steps
--First we we check for the file is picked or no, if not see the Sender side CC parameters like mode and path details
--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
--if success in SXMB_MONI then we need to check in RWB as above channel monitor now select the receiver side CC
If no errors then check for output file is placed intarget or not
Please reward points if it helps
Thanks

Menu bar date and time format in Lion

Is there a way to change the formatting of the date and time shown in the menu bar in Lion? I've been googling for a while, but can't find a solution. At the moment the time has a very unusual format of <hh:mm.ss>. Note the '.' before seconds. What I want to achieve is to change that dot to a colon as it normally is (and was in Leopard and earlier, don't know about Snow Leopard), ie. <hh:mm:ss>. I've checked the date and time formats in system settings several times, but those have no effect on the menu bar. When I set the clock to display an analogue icon and click on it, the date and time in the popup menu are shown correctly using the full format.

Well ofcourse I am. And no, I am not using a third party utility. This functionality has been available in OSX for ages.
I never noticed that option!
It works ok for me (with a colon, not a dot).
Is it possible you have a dead pixel where the top dot of the colon should be?

Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file "2008-06-22 at 14-41-14.jpg" because it has a format that does not permit date modification.

I can't seem to find a way to update the date/time of a master file. There is a format issue but I can't seem to figure out how to correct it.

Thank you.

Hi,
Before assigning the QADATE value you can write the logic to display 20080312   as 12-MAR-2008 taking the offset values .
Like
qadate = wa_jcds-UDATE.
qatime = wa_jcds-UTIME.
lw_year    = qadate(4).
lw_month = qadate+4(2).
lw_date    = qadate+6(2).
case lw_month.
when 1.
when 2.
        concatenate lw_date '-FEB-' lw_year into qadate.
when 3.
      concatenate lw_date '-MAR-' lw_year into qadate.
endcase.
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 2.
MOVE qadate TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
And you can also change the timeformat also .
then assign that value to qatime .Then
READ TABLE out_tab INDEX 3.
MOVE qatime TO out_tab-value.
MODIFY out_tab INDEX sy-tabix.
I think this helps you.
Regards,
Rajitha.

Date and time formatting not responding

I'm trying to total a column based on a date or date window. My formula looks like this.
SUMIF(Date,B1,'$')
I have 2 tables. The table with the formula references the other table, and compares Date in table 1 to B1 in table 2. B1 is a date I enter to see a specific total for that day only. It only works if all the times of the date window are 12:00:00 AM. , and the B1 times are the same ..... Even though times are unimportant to the totals I need, and both are formatted to "none" and do. It show.
So, how do I total a specific date with various times, but all the same date? I have a sample file if it will make more sense to see it.
Not that it matters, but I am doing this on an iPad, but the formula still did not respond correctly on Mavericks either. Unless I set all times equal to B1.
Sorry if I didn't explain very well. I'm new at this formula thing.
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
The entered date in B1 will have it's time part set to 00:00:00 (midnight, at the beginning of that date). To use SUMIF to filter the date and time values in Table 1, you would need to write a single condition that would accept all date and time values falling on the date in BI, and reject all date and time values falling on days before or after that date.
SUMIFS allows you to specify multiple conditions, all of which must be met to acept a test value and add its associated sum value to the total. Here's an example:
The formula in B1 of Table 2 is shown below:
B2: =SUMIFS(Table 1 :: B,Table 1 :: $A,">="&B1,Table 1 :: $A,"<"&(B1+1))
Syntax: =SUMIFS(sum-values,test-values,condition,test-values,ˆcondition)

Barry
