Format datetime to date

Hi All,
I have a dimension with some datetime columns in it.Some are datetime and some are datetime2(7).
The users will browse the cube from excel. They just want to see the date and not the time.
Ex: I have a column named WrittenDate in ClaimDimension and it is datetime datatype. It has values like '2010-11-02 00:00:00.0000000'. Here the user want to see only '2010-11-02' when they browse in excel.
They will see them as RowLabels or filters.
How to do this?
I need to do this for all the dimensions which have datetime columns.

What if i convert all my datetime columns to date datatype in my views which my cube uses to get data while processing ?
Will that display '2010-11-02' instead of '2010-11-02 00:00:00.0000000'.
I will update my view for this column as convert(varchar(20),WrittenDate, 110) as WrittenDate
will this eliminate time and only display date in excel while browsing?

How do I set this though to format the date itself? i.e. I have set this up so far, xpath20:format-dateTime(xpath20:current-dateTime()), but what do I place in the last set of parenthesis that allows me to achieve this?

Xp20:format-dateTime method in BPEL 11g

I am doing a date conversion as xp20:format-dateTime('2007-10-07','YYYYMMDD') and storing in a String variable - givenDateConverted
but the result is as below
<givenDateConverted >YYYYMMDD</givenDateConverted>
My original requirement is to compare this givenDateConverted with the currentDate and reject if givenDateConverted is less than currentDate
Please help
Thanks

Hi sesha,
Your date 08-OCT-2009 is not in the expected xs:DateTime format like 2002-05-30T09:30:10Z
This is what xp20:format-dateTime needs.
What is the date format of the date you need to compare to the current date?
If it is in the standard xsd:dateTime format you don't need to format anything.
If it is a comparable format you can format the current time in that format.
For example:
<before>
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),"[Y0001][M01][D01][H01][m01][s01]") > '20100909111209'"/>
</before>see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-dateTime
And beware of timezone issues...

Format-dateTime function in xsl

Hi,
I am trying to convert String format to specific date time format(YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS:FF).
I am using below function in xsl:
<xsl:value-of select='xpath20:format-dateTime(/ns0:Transmission/ns0:TransmissionBody/ns0:GLogXMLElement/ns0:ShipmentStatus/ns0:EventDt/ns0:GLogDate,"[Y0001][M01][D01][H01][m01][s01]")'/>
But it is not returning any value.
Source format is String(value= 20101020155400).
Target is dateTime(Expected Value= 2010-10-20 01:55:40.0).
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks

Hi Arik....
At last i got it. :)
Followed the below steps.
Step1:
Created a String variable "currentDateTimeValue" in BPEL.
Step2:
I have used the below code in JavaEmbedding in BPEL.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat();
//Date Pattern looks lil weird. But some Web service accepts only this format.
sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-00:00'");//2012-04-14T16:24:00.578-00:00
String formattedDate = sdf.format(new java.util.Date());
addAuditTrailEntry("Formatted datetime string is: " + formattedDate);
setVariableData("currentDateTimeValue", formattedDate);
Step3:
Created a Simple XSD with an element "DateElement" of String type.
Step4:
Assigned "currentDateTimeValue" value to "DateElement" element, in Assign activity.
Step5:
Now added this DateElement in Transformation activity, as a second source variable. Mapped this data to the required target element in my XSL.
uh-huh I got the output...
Thanks a ton ARIK :D u r really helpful...

Xp20:format-dateTime('060111','[Y01][M01][D01]') returns null...

As part of my tranformation I need to convert a date string into a datetime type. This operation kept returning null so I decided to hard code the value and the result is still null. Can anyone provide any insight?
XSL TRANFORMATION:
<order:OrderHdrAction>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">ADD
</xsl:text>
</order:OrderHdrAction>
<order:OrderHdrReqdt>
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime('060111','[Y01][M01][D01]')"/>
</order:OrderHdrReqdt>
<order:OrderHdrPonum>
<xsl:value-of select="/client:adage_orderentry_qdb_processorProcessRequest/client:flat_order/imp1:instruction/imp1:po_num"/>
</order:OrderHdrPonum>
RESULTANT XML:
<order:OrderHdrAction xmlns:order="http://www.shamrockfoods.com/adage/orderentry">ADD</order:OrderHdrAction>
<order:OrderHdrReqdt xmlns:order="http://www.shamrockfoods.com/adage/orderentry" />
<order:OrderHdrPonum xmlns:order="http://www.shamrockfoods.com/adage/orderentry">00001234</order:OrderHdrPonum>

i think this function is for formatting dates, and not parsing them as you are attempting. Try using substring instead.

Transformation: format-dateTime

Hi,
I am stuck with transformation. I am trying to map a string column to a date column.
Column name: imdtsc (String datatype)
Value: 20080624054923
For converting this string and for mapping to destination date field, I have used this function:
<ns2:trxDate>
<xsl:value-of select='xp20:format-dateTime(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,"[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01] [H01]:[m01]:[s01].0")'/>
</ns2:trxDate>
Here trxDate is my destination field of Date datatype.
After deploying and instance creation I am not able to see any value in the table column trxDate.
Can anyone help me in this. Am I doing something wrong. Is there any other way?
Thanks,
Abhishek...

Thanks Anne for replying.
I got the solution for my problem. Thanks to ramana.
Here is my piece of code for this:
<ns2:trxDate>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,1.0,4.0),"-",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,5.0,2.0),"-",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,7.0,2.0),'T',substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,9.0,2.0),":",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,11.0,2.0),":",substring(/top:F59432001Collection/top:F59432001/top:imdtsc,13.0,2.0))"/>
</ns2:trxDate>

Format-dateTime usage question

Have a string input of 2007-10-10T10:10:10 am am attempting to use the format-dateTime XPath function in the XSLT Mapper to format the string uisng the string 'YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSS' - my output is simply the fomat string: 'YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSS'.
Have looked at several threads on this but cannot find any help - what is going on and how do I use this function?
Thanks - Casey

Hopefully by now Casey has figured it out but in case someone else finds this thread...
The date format used by the format-dateTime BPEL / ESB XPath extension function seems to be the same format string syntax specified in XSLT 2.0 format-date() function which is detailed with examples at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xslt20-20050915/#date-time-examples
An example appears in this thread:

How to change dispaly format of Due Date in BPA Invoice Template (11.5.10)

Hi,
I've modified the Invoice Template through template management in Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA). I copied the default layout and made the format changes, added our company logo etc. The only thing that I'm unable to do is change the format of the date Content Items like Billing Date and Due Date (TERM_DUE_DATE). Does anybody know how I can do that.
Thanks for your help
-Asif

Jassing,
Thank you for the hint about preferences. I didn't think about that.
The date formats are suppose to follow the format setup in personal preferences. But it turns out that there is a bug that just the 'Due Date' in BPA Invoice template is not following that. The other dates are displaying according to the format in preferences. So we'll be applying a patch to fix it. Hopefully that will fix it

Convert a date in String format to a Date

Hi,
How can I convert a date in String format to a Date object?
I have tried:
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.sql.*;
public class casa {
public static Connection con = null;
public static Statement s = null;
public static String sql = null;
public static String mydate = "01.01.2001";
/** Creates a new instance of casa */
public casa() {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
try {
DateFormat shortFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
Date date = shortFormat.parse(mydate);
//Open Database
con = getConnection();
s = con.createStatement();
sql = "select date1 from table1 where date1 <= '"+date+"'";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String aba = rs.getString("datum");
System.out.println("New Datum = "+aba);
} catch (Exception ex ) {
ex.printStackTrace();
closeConnection(s, con);
//Connection
private static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = null;
String user ="aouzi";
String passe ="aouzi";
String url = "jdbc:db2:EjbTest";
try {
//Datenbanktreiber laden
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
//Verbindung herstellen
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passe);
}catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
} catch(SQLException e){}
return con;
//close Connection
private static void closeConnection(Statement s, Connection con) {
try {
s.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
try {
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {}
I'm getting the following errors:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0180N
The syntax of the representation of a date/time of day value as character sequence is false. .SQLSTATE=22007

I'm pretty sure it won't understand what date.toString() returns. If you know what format the database understands, you do it like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy"); // e.g. 18-Apr-02
String datestring = sdf.parse(date);
and use that instead of date in your sql string. Some databases understands it if you do
"to_date('18-Apr-02')"
so you could include that in your sql string as well..
You could also try to make it a java.sql.Date and hope your jdbc driver knows how to convert it to a string that the database understands if you don't know the format:
con = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select date1 from table1 where date1 <= ?");
ps.setDate(new java.sql.Date(date.getTime()));
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

Conditional format with large data fails and show error as "Selection is too large" in Excel 2007

I am facing a issue in paste special operation using conditional formats for large data in Excel 2007
I have uploaded a file at below given location.
http://sdrv.ms/1fYC9qE
The file contains two sheets, Sheet "Data" contains the data on which formats are to be applied and sheet "FormatTables" contains the format tables which contains conditional formating.
There are two table in "FormatTables" sheet. Both have some conditional formats applied on it.
Case 1:
1. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$2
2. Copy it
3. Goto Sheet "Data"
4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
Result:
It throws error as "Selection is too large"
Case 2:
1. Select the table range of Table2 i.e $A$5:$AV$5
2. Copy it
3. Goto Sheet "Data"
4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
Result:
Formats get applied successfully.
Both are the same format tables with same no of column and applied to same data range($A$1:$AV$20664) where one of the case works and another fails.
The only diffrence is Table1 has appliesTo range($A$2:$T$2) as partial of total table range($A$2:$AV$2) whereas the Table2 has appliesTo range($A$5:$AV$5) same as of its total table range($A$5:$AV$5)
NOTE : This issue is only in Excel 2007

Excel 2007 No Supporting formating to take a formatting form another if source table has more then 16000 rows and if you want to do that in more then it then you have ot inset 1 more row in your format table to have 3 rows
like: A1:AV3
then try to copy that formating and apply
Solution Case 1:
1.Select the table range of Table1 i.e AV21 and drage it down to one row down
2. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$3
3. Copy it
4. Goto Sheet "Data"
5. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
6. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special

Add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime not working just before format-dateTime

Hi,
I am using format-DateTime function just after add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime function in XSLT mapping.
But the response coming doesnot providing the result of add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime function.
When I use both the functions individually then both works fine.
Please let me know any solution for this.
Thanks

Hi Arpit,
Can you try converting the output of add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime to string, before passing it to format-DateTime.
Also can you post your piece of xslt that you are trying to work out with an example.
Please do mention what exactly you are trying to do.
I have tried this and its working fine.
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(string(xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),'PT15S')),'[D01]/[M01]/[Y0001]')"/>
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Deepak.

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field?

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field? I can't seem to change it from the short date format.

Hi,
I would suggest you to change the form language to English (UK), Here are the steps:-
1. Open your form in FormsCentral
2. Clik on Options tab
3. Click on Language and Formatting and check out the selection for Form Language and make sure English (U.K.) is selected and the default date format should be day/month/year.
