How do I pull just the year from a date?

I'm trying to pull just the year from a date and cannot figure out how this can be done. I tried the SUBSTR fuction but its not acting how I would expect. What I'm wanting to do is write a condition that says Item Birth Year = Current Year minus 23 I have a calc that figures the age from the difference in the birthdate and current year but I'd really like to just write a condition based just one years. Can this be done?

Hello
SUBSTR will only work on a string. To extract portions of a date you need to use the TO_CHAR command.
To get the year you would use this: TO_CHAR(the_date,'YYYY')
TO_CHAR takes 2 switches, the date to be manipulated and the portion to be extracted, with the portion in single quotes.
Once you get used to manipulating dates like this other common pieces are: DD - extracts the day of the month, MON extracts the 3 character code for the month.
Thus you can use this: TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') and it will convert the current date, June 7th 2012 to 07-JUN-2012
Hope this helps
Best wishes

In Numbers, how can i change only the year in a date formatted column of data?

I'm using Numbers 3.5.2 on an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2.
This column is a listing of dates tied to info that needs to happen on a particular date each year. Rather than re-key all the dates so the year advances to 2015, it would be great if I could change just the year for the entire column, leaving the day and month intact.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you already have a column of dates, and just want change the year in the entire column, rather than reenter the dates, then you could use a formula something like this:
The formula in B2, copied down the column:
=DATE(YEAR(A2)+1,MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))
Then select the new column, command-c to copy, and Edit > Paste Formula Results. The original column can then be deleted.

How do I update just the day of a date value?

Example:
Table: FC_GQ_SOURCE_ANALYSIS
Sample_type = C
Effective_date = null
Sample_date = 20/13/07/14 09:00:00
What needs to happen is for any sample analysis that has a sample_type of "C" we need the effective date to be the first of the month for whatever month the sample date is and keep the time as it is…
so in the example data the effective date should be 2013/07/01 09:00:00.
How would I update just the day part of that date string?

Hi,
You don't need to convert to a string and back again to do that. Use TRUNC to get the right day, and date arithmetic to get the right time, like this:
UPDATE fc_gq_source_analysis
SET     effective_date = TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')
                             + (sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date))
WHERE   sample_type = 'C'
TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')        is midnight on the 1st of the month that you want.
sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date)   is the time that you want, expressed as a number of days (e.g., 9/24 of a day).

Hi,
How to get the name of the month from current date.
Thanks,

Sethil,
Use your date(let us say Date1) instead of sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
RETURN_CODE =
TABLES
MONTH_NAMES = itab_month
EXCEPTIONS
MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
READ TABLE itab_month
WITH KEY MNR = date1+4(2).
itab_month-LTX will contain the value you are looking for
Good luck

How can I print just the year view in iCal?

Just trying to print the year view.

If you choose the "list" option in View on the print dialog box and uncheck everything at the bottom except "To do items" you may be able to get what you're looking for. It appears that the list includes all todos including those without due dates, so you might have to do something to assign due dates to all your todos and in iCal preferences restrict the visibility of todos outside of a certain date range. Unfortunately, you can't save any of this work into a standard report (at least not that I know of) - the print dialog in iCal starts from scratch every time you invoke it. Hope that helps at least some.

How do I use just the audio from a clip in imovie? No picture, no video, just audio!

I want to put the audio from a clip at the end of the video. No video, just black screen

It will require a bit of a workaround. But it can be done. If you enable Advanced Tools under the iMovie Preferences (Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences). Enable Advanced Tools by clicking the checkbox.
Now create a title with a black background by dragging at title to the end of the video on the Project timeline. Once the title is there, delete all the text on the title. Now drag that black background directly dead center onto the video clip just before the end where you want to 'blot out' the video and just have audio. When you release the mouse, you will be shown a pop-up menu with a bunch of different options including one titled cut-away. Choose this option. What will happen is the video will cut to the black video background you dragged on top of the video clip. You can set the duration by dragging the left and right edges out further to make it run longer. This black back ground effectively cover the video and will continue to play the audio of the underlying video clip.

HT4946 How can I restore just the contacts from a backup?

I had to restore my computer to factory settings as it would not download any new apps from iTunes. I now want to restore my contacts. I do not want to restore settings, etc. as these may have been the source of the problem.
I don't want to sync all my windows contacts, just the ones I had on the phone. I can't find a way of doing this Can you help?

You have to restore the entire backup. You can restore the backup, then back up your contacts using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then restore it as new again and use this backup to re-import the contacts to your phone.

Hi add this statement to your XSLT Mappping

How to parse the year from a date.

Hi,
I have the following date format in database.
05-SEP-07
18-OCT-07
18-OCT-07
25-JUL-07
18-OCT-07
What I am trying to do is get only the full year from the date, example
2007
2008
2009
I tried to use extract function but that doesn't work due to ORA-01843: not a valid month.
Thanks in advance.
select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual;

OK. You got an error using date literal. Did you at least look in documentation on date literals? I guess not, otherwise you'd see that data literal synatx is DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD':
SQL> select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual;
select extract(year from date '18-OCT-07') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
SQL>
SQL> select extract(year from date '2007-10-18') from dual;
EXTRACT(YEARFROMDATE'2007-10-18')
2007
SQL> SY.
P.S. "I have the following date format in database" is completely wrong dates are always stored in one format - internal date format that stores year, month, day, hour, minute and second. When you select date using client tools like SQL*Plus, SQL Developer, Toad, etc. date is converted to string using either explicit or implicit format where you specify which parts of date you want to see.

My new I5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?

Hi there everybody,
My new Iphone 5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?
Some help will be greatly appreciate.
Thanks much!

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

I downloaded pictures onto my iPhone from computer twice by mistake now when i uncheck/sync then check and sync again i keep getting two lots of pics..how can i get just the one set again? thnx

You're welcome.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

If I put an item in clippings that I reduced from a larger article, how do I print just the clippings excerpt?

If I put an item in clippings that I reduced from a larger article, how do I print just the seperate clippings excerpt?

Hi Mark,
I think one thing you may missing is an understanding of the purpose and operation of the mail merge process.
Mail merge is used to 'personalize' a preset document using information from the records of a database. Any content that will vary from copy to copy of the document must be imported from the database. Every item that is specific to the copy being sent to a specific individual must be included in the row of the table containing the record for that individual.
For invoices, unless you are sending an invoice for the same item(s) at the same price(s), you'll need to either include the items and prices in the database and merge them into the invoices, or use the merge document to create a document containing an empty invoice for each customer, containing only the customer identification information, and the company information (taken from the card marked "My Card" or "Me"), then fill in each invoice manually.
The Pages '09 template named "Invoice" might word with the second approach, depending what type of document the merge to file option produces. If it's a Pages document, the table, containing the invoice data, will likely be useable; if it's a pdf document, the table may be editable (or not), but will lose its ability to calculate the tax amounts and totals.
To produce an individual invoice from this template:
Open the template.
Drag the recipient's card from Contacts/Address Book and drop it on one of the fields in the first block of address text.
Enter the project information in the second block of text.
Check the Company block in the left margin for correctness.
Enter the Invoice items and quantities in the table.
Print (or Print to PDF) the document and mail it.
Regards,
Barry

How to get the week number of year from a Date object?

Hi!
I would like to know the week number of the year from a specified Date.
I dont know how to set the first day of week, and set the minimum days of a week.
I want to use Monday for first day of week, and at least 4 days of month in a week.
For example if its 1st, January is Friday, then the first week starts on 4th, Monday.
Anyone can help?

Sorry. I should think before I move.

Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.
