Date Format Conversion MM/DD/YYYY to Month Day, Year

Hi all,
Is there a function in BIP that converts MM/DD/YYYY to Month Day, Year?
eg.
10/08/2010 convert to October 08, 2010
Thank you very much!

Since your date is not in canonical format, you cant format dates directly.
You need to get it done with workarounds.
Try using
<?xdoxslt:month_name(substring(DATE,1,2), 0, $_XDOLOCALE)?> <? substring(DATE,4,2)?>, <? substring(DATE,7,4)?>
Here I assume your date comes in the format MM/DD/YYYY

  • Date Format Conversion from MM.DD.YYYY to YYYYMMDD

    Hi All,
    I am trying to load data from r/3, and i have date format as MM.DD.YYYY in source system.how can i convert this into YYYYMMDD format in transfer rules(I know that we have to write a routine in transfer rules).Could anybody help me out pl?..pl give me conversion routine for it.
    Here BW Filed is 0DATE and R/3 Filed is ZZDATE.
    regards

    Hi,
    Try to under stand what I am asking :
    <b>What is the domain(or data type) used for the ZZDATE field.</b>
    Ok ,
    If some records are having proper format and others are having wrong format, even we canot correct this with routine also. So in this case you have to edit manually at PSA, then do upload.
    You are right, when we are populating data to ODS , if there is any wrong format of value, it will not disply the error at the time of loading .It will through the error at the time of activation.

  • Date format conversation in OBIEE

    Hello guys
    I am a quick question about how to stop OBIEE from using to_date conversation? The date format in the db is dd/month/yy, and when I run any report in OBIEE answer using Date columns, it will always convert the format to "dd/mm/YYYY". The sql generated will always have a to_date() in where clause..
    Is there a way to not have OBIEE does that and just show the date with format as it is and drop the to_date conversion in SQL?
    Thanks

    I think you are getting confused here. Oracle's default date format is dd-mon-yyyy. So when you run a query like this:
    DATE_COLUMN = '01-Nov-2009'
    Oracle applies an IMPLICIT data type conversion to your date string and converts it to a date data type. Whether you allow Oracle to do the implicit conversion or do it explicitly like this DATE_COLUMN = To_date('01-Nov-2009', 'dd-mon-yyyy') should always result in the same query performance. When to TO_DATE functions affect query performance? When you apply the function over the DATE_COLUMN like this:
    TO_DATE(DATE_COLUMN, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = '01-Nov-2009'
    Why? Because indexes on DATE_COLUMN WILL NOT be used unless you have defined a function level index with a index column using the function: TO_DATE(DATE_COLUMN, 'dd-mon-yyyy'). My guess is that your DATE_COLUMN is not a date but a varchar2, therefore when you pass in To_date('01-Nov-2009', 'dd-mon-yyyy') Oracle does an IMPLICIT conversion of your DATE_COLUMN to DATE data type to match the data type of your where condition hence it is taking long to execute as no indexes are used. Can you confirm what is the exact data type of the DATE_COLUMN you are using to filter on? Do you have an index defined in that column? Can you confirm exactly how is the index is defined? Have you ran statistics on the table AND the indexes as well?

  • RE: Oracle DATE data format conversion..

    <C.M> Motta's question about dates and oracle>
    Dealing with dates and Oracle is somewhat of a nuisance. Oracle is very
    particular about how date strings are formatted, and if you get it wrong,
    you get the (unhelpful) message that C.M. Motta showed us. However, if
    you pass a DateTimeData to Oracle, Forte' does the right formatting for you.
    If you do need to format the date prior to interacting with Oracle, use the
    following format:
    dd-mmm-yy <time component>
    You can change the default format, but it is not easy.
    If you customise Express generated code that interacts with an Oracle
    database, again, make sure that you pass a DateTimeData, and not the
    .TextValue.
    Good luck!

    Cheers:
    Most likely what is happening is that you are using the default date
    format of Oracle, and you are sending a four-character year. As follows:
    SQL> insert into jimbo values ('01-dec-1997')
    2 /
    insert into jimbo values ('01-dec-1997')
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire inputstring
    >
    Oracle defaults to a format of 'dd-MON-yy'
    You can either truncate the year, or manipulate the date to match the standard
    database as follows:
    insert into jimbo values (to_Date('01-jan-1997', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
    \jimbo

    I have another question: Im trying to insert a DATE into an Oracle
    database. The source date is:
    data : DateTimeData = new;
    data.SetCurrent();
    So, when I try to insert data.Value or data.textvalue into DB, I
    get the following exception:
    ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire

    Are there any suggestions?

  • Can I change the day/date format from US (month day year) to UK (date month year)?

    When I view databases through Firefox, the date/day format is set at month, day, year (US style), whereas I need day, month, year, I work in the UK and the "wrong" format is VERY confusing and could lead to errors/mistakes. IE has that format but I don't want to revert to using that.

    Gingerbread Man, thank you VERY much!! I followed your instructions and it works perfectly. I am a happy person :-))

  • How do I get the date format of MM/DD/YYYY to be recognized in Numbers?

    I recently switched from Windows and Excel.  All the bank details that I export from my bank have dates formatted as mm/dd/yyyy.  Excel has no issues dealing with this but Numbers will not recognize the cell contents as a date.  Any help?

    I have similar problems with data copied & pasted from a banking web page into Numbers. I always first check to see that the cells are formatted as date & time, but that doesn't always fix the problem. The problem usually ends up being spaces before and/or after the numbers in a cell.

  • Convert the date of string to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.

    I need convert the date of string format 'MM/dd/yyyy' to datetime format 'MM/dd/yyyy' when the system date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy'.Since
    I need to search values based on date where my database datetime  is 'MM/dd/yyyy' format.

    In my opinion you should re-consider the assumption that the date picker returns a string. Maybe it is able to return a
    DateTime object directly instead of string. Then you will pass this value as a parameter of SQL query. This should work regardless of computer configuration.
    Otherwise, follow the previous string-based approaches.

    Hi,
    you can use SimpleDateFormat to parse Date objects to formatted Strings
    SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )
    Note that dependent in your Date type you may deal with Date or SQL Date in ADF BC. SqlDate woild need to be converted to Date first and then parsed into a formatted String. I suggest you Google for SimpleDateFormat examples
