Date Format in received column

Hi guys, does anybody knows how to change the date format of the received column of the mails in the messenger express (6.1).
We speak spanish and we usually use the date in this format dd/mm/yyyy.
Thanks sincerely,
Andr�s.

That should be one of the things under "settings". I dont' have a Spanish version handy to check, though.

Is there a way to customise format of received column in Outlook 2013?

I'm using Outlook 2013 on one machine.
I's like to change the date format in an email collection view to something that suits me. (Say in a Received column.)
There is a humorously named advanced settings widget, that gives me a range of preselected formats. (Including something called "Best Fit".) This however doesn't let me define my own formats.
Is there a facility that enables me define what I want?
Maybe defining a new registry key.
System wide settings (short and long date) are not the answer I'm looking for.
(In code I can define dates, where is that in Outlook?)

Hi,
May I know what format you want it to be? For example, "m/d/yyyy" or others?
Actually I have found a lot of other formats beside the "Best Fit", none of them fits your need?
As you may have found in Outlook, we can customize the view to change how the time or date is displayed from the
Format dropbox, as I know, it's always based on your Windows’ defaults. There's no such registry key to modify this that I can find.
Thanks,

In Thunderbird, how do I change the date format for the column display?

I want the date to show as DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM AM/PM. Although this should be really obvious (and I know I've done it in the past), I can't find where to do this and can't find anything in Thunderbird Help on this, not even when I search "Thunderbird, change date format".

Thunderbird usually uses the computer date and time and settings.
I'm using Windows and notice that TB is using the short date format which I set up under Regional & Language Options.
Are you using the International settings or Date/Time settings?
It should pick up the settings from the 'International' or maybe its called now called 'Language & Text' setting.
not sure which of these suits your macbook:

The SQl should be written in this format,check hoek post in the below link break 1 column in to multiple

Implicit date format conversion of report column

Hello,
The following expression defines date format for report column implicitly and doesn't reflect FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE with language independent format mask of the column attribute anymore:
decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
end_date is of TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE type, format mask of the column attribute: DS TS
Is it expected behavior?
Thanks

ThanksThe reason might be that you compare different datatypes in the SQL statement. The output of decode depends on those parameters.
You can cast the column to a specific datatype or you make sure that your wanted datatype is used during the decode.
example
decode(end_date, to_timestamp_tz('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
or
cast(decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) as timestamp(0) with local time zone) closed

Date Format in Portal Report

Hi,
I have created a SQL Report with following select statement. Looks like portal has default format mask for date type as 'DD-MM-YY'.
If I put DD-MM-YYYY or DD-MM-RRRR in Format Mask field in Column Formatting screen, the reports generates 04-10-0002 . It should
be 04-10-2002.
select process_id, last_update_date
from obm
where process_id like (:process_id)
I tried to use the to_char function as following. But it errors ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error. Even though it works fine in
my sqlplus session.
select process_id, to_char(last_update_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY')
from obm
where process_id like (:process_id)
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Hi,
Which version of portal are you using? The error with to_char comes in 30984. This is a bug. The bug no is 2567445. A one-off has been issued. Please look in metalink for it. And for the date formatting in the column formatting section the formatting should work fine. Please check the data in your table.
Thanks,

What people are saying is that date columns (of DATE datatype) are stored internally using a fixed internal notation, which is essentially a series of bytes that describe the date.
e.g.

14 rows selected.Here, you can see from the dumped dates that they are all stored as 7 bytes of data, which sort of resemble the date you see on the screen in some way, but not quite. It's an internal format that Oracle understands and uses, and it's important it's stored in this way so that date arithmetic and date range comparisons can be performed easily (and quickly) in queries.

14 rows selected.... whilst the hiredate is now showing on the screen in the format we've chosen, the actual internal storage of those dates remains completely unchanged. i.e. we don't have to change the format of the internal storage of dates to make them display differently.
Likewise you can format dates manually as part of your query using to_char function...
SQL> select empno, ename, to_char(hiredate,'DD Month YYYY') as hiredate, dump(hiredate) as dump_hiredate from emp;

SQL>Again, the internal date format remains the same.
It is important that, when you store date information you store it as DATE datatype and let oracle use it's internal format, so that it can accurately do the date arithmetic, date range searches and date ordering etc., that everyone likes to do in queries. If you try and store it as VARCHAR2 then not only can information be lost (i.e. is '01/02/2010' representing 1st February 2010 or is it 2nd January 2010?) but you prevent date arithmetic, range searches and ordering in your queries from working correctly (i.e. '03/01/2009' would work out to be a greater date than '01/02/2010'). To prove it...

BI Publisher Date Format

Hi,
I am building a data model using a SQL query in BI Publisher, the date format of the column in the database is DD-MON-YYYY. When I use this format in BI Publisher the query returns no results:
where trim(w.date_added) = '19-MAY-2010'
I have tried using trim(to_date(w.date_added, 'YYYY-MM-DD')) = '19-MAY-2010'
This also returns no results, however when running against the database I do see resullts.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Edited by: sliderrules on 16-Sep-2010 02:22

Hi,
If I run the query in the database using date format 'DD-MON-YYYY', I do get results. The problem lies within BI Publisher query, I have tried using java date format:
trim(to_date(w.date_added, 'MM-dd-yyyy')) = '05-19-2010'
This also returns no results, the actual date format in the table appears as '19-MAY-2010'

DATE FORMAT Conversion FOR SQL Reports

Hi,
Am building a report and am stuck here where this piece of code that throws the following error
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
My query goes some thing like this
DECLARE @StartDate varchar(15),
@EndDate Varchar(15)
SELECT @StartDate = '01/08/2014',
@EndDate = '31/08/2014'
SELECT DISTINCT
[Operation] = CASE WHEN p.DATE_OF_START BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate THEN 'Add'
ELSE 'Update' END
FROM SNZ_HR_Reporting_POSMGNT as s
LEFT OUTER JOIN PERSON as p on s.EMP_NO = p.EMP_NO
WHERE s.CHANGE_DATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate
The date format in the column DATE_OF_START is like yyyy-mm-dd 00.00.00.000 .
My question is how to convert this format to dd/mm/yyyy format and execute the queries
Many Thanks,
Bhanu

Settng Data Format Dynamically

Hi All,
How to set the data format to a column dynamically?
I have a column, which displays Amount, in a Request. For this Column, I have chosen 'Override Default Data Format' and set the 'Decimal Places' to 2.
But, for some Reports I need to display the Amount without any decimal places viz., 1234.00 ---> 1234.
How can I do this?
Thanks in Advance,
-Vency

You'd apply the formatting in the Business Model and Mapping layer - and then drag the columns into the Presentation layer.
Right mouse click the source column, click 'duplicate'. Select the duplicated column (call it what you want) click properties, and from the data type tab edit the mapping applying any format expression you want.
The other alternative is to do it in the physical layer, most of my base objects are database views so I could just add the extra column in there.

Group by month/year from DATE FORMAT column

Hi Chaps,
I have a recordset that pulls data from a database, then presents the data in a table. The data is grouped by 'projid', repeated for every 'projid', with a show/hide control, to show all the 'jobid's' relating to that particular 'projid'
This is what I have so far:
Code:
SELECT
tbl_projects.projid,
tbl_projects.projtitle,
tbl_projects.projdue, DATE_FORMAT(tbl_projects.projdue, '%%d/%%m/%%Y') as projdue_format,

tbl_doctype.doctypename,
tbl_jobs.jobid,
tbl_jobs.FK_projid,
tbl_jobs.jobname,
tbl_jobs.FK_langid,
tbl_jobs.jobpages,
tbl_jobs.jobshipped,
tbl_jobs.jobinvsent,
tbl_jobs.jobtranslatorcharge,
'tbl_jobs' as fromtable,
tbl_customers.custid,
FROM tbl_projects
INNER JOIN tbl_jobs
ON tbl_projects.projid=tbl_jobs.FK_projid

INNER JOIN tbl_doctype

WHERE tbl_projects.projstatus='Complete'
AND tbl_projects.projinvtype='Costing Sheet'
AND langtname!='TH'
AND langtname!='ID'
AND langtname!='KO'
AND langtname!='JP'
AND jobinvsent='y'
AND FK_custid = %s
ORDER BY projid ASC", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsInvPending, "int");
$rsInvPending = mysql_query($query_rsInvPending, $conndb2) or die(mysql_error());
//$row_rsInvPending = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsInvPending);
$totalRows_rsInvPending = mysql_num_rows($rsInvPending);
Code:
// REPEAT - FOR EVERY PROJECT
<?php
$previousProject = '';
if ($totalRows_rsInvPending > 0) {
// Show if recordset not empty
 while ($row_rsInvPending = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsInvPending)) {
 if ($previousProject != $row_rsInvPending['projid']) {
 // for every Project, show the Project ID
?>
Code:
// SHOW/HIDE CONTROL
 <tr>
 <td colspan="9" class="highlight"><a href="#" onclick="toggle2('proj1<?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projid'] ?>', this)"><img src="../../Images/plus.gif" border="0" /></a> <?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projid'] ?> - </a><?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projtitle'] ?></td>

 <?php $previousProject = $row_rsInvPending['projid']; } ?>
 <tr class="proj1<?php echo $row_rsInvPending['projid'] ?>" style="display:none">
 <td>column 1</td>
 <td>column 2</td>
What I want, is to put in another grouped by stage, where the 'projid's' themselves are in a show/hide region, grouped by 'projcompletedate' (year/month). 'projcompletedate' is in DATE format, but how to I get PHP/SQL to take the month and year and then group them correctly?

Hi Wayne,
Thank you for this response. I have tried this but when I start enterring $ amounts some, such as $6.00, go in OK others such as $4.00 appear as a date ie 4 Oct 12.

DATE format - while defining the table column

Hi Friends,
I came across a piece of code which was applying a TO_DATE() function on a date type column.
I have two tables t1 and t2 and they have col1 and col2 columns respectively of type DATE
t1
col1 DATE
t2
col2 DATEalso there is a variable var1 and is defined as below:
var1 DATE;now I have conditions as below in the code:
AND to_date(t1.col1,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(t2.col2,'dd/mm/yyyy')
AND to_date(t1.col1,'dd/mm/yyyy') = to_date(var1,'dd/mm/yyyy')This code failed on Production with an error: ORA-01861 literal does not match format string
I changed the code to remove TO_DATE() and it worked fine. Dev clarified that they used this function so that if the two columns or variable are in diff date format.,..they can be put in sync.
e.g. if col1 is dd/mm/yyyy and col2 is mm/dd/yyyy then there will be an issue.
My doubt is.. in a given environment if we are creating a table and defining a column of type DATE , or defining a variable of type DATE, can their format be different at any time? I think No.?
In what scenario can the date format be different?
Thanks,

Having said that date format is only for display purposes, if you tend to avoid the error without changing the code then you can modify the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter at session level.

SQL> select to_date(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual

Column data formatting in OBIEE ANSWERS

Hi,
I have a requirement of putting '-' whenever column value is NULL. I am doing this ANSWERS. I am doing this by using the below.
IFNULL(CAST("COLUMN NAME" AS CHAR),'-').
It is correctly replacing by '-' whenever data is NULL but it is also overriding default data format as Treat Text As(custom Text Format) if you look at the data format tab in the column properties. So if column has data like 23.1 it is displaying as 23.123456667777.
But I want to overwrite custom text format as number format to show as 23.1.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
SRK
