date-formatting

I have date value with a time zone. 24 Nov 2005 GMT+05:30 What is the format code for this custom format in Excel? I tried dd MMM yyyy with z , zz , zzz , and Z but Excel ignores those options. Not sure if possible. I've just gone through every letter in custom format cell and nothing looked right. What I would suggest is maybe splitting it up into a few cells and then bringing them all together. In the first column (A1) you could have the date, formatted how you like (dd mmm yyyy). Second (B1) you could have the time before you account for the different timezone (formatted how you like, i.e.

For my project I need to have an absolute numerical correspondence between days of the week and 1...7 values. As you probably know the association between days and numbers can vary according to the locale, for example in Germany Monday is 1 and Sunday is 7, while in US Monday is 2 while Sunday is 1. So, searching for a solution, I found the following code which seems working regardless of the locale, assigning Monday=1...Sunday=7: 1 + TRUNC (date) - TRUNC (date, 'IW') Can someone explain me how does it work? In particular I just can't understand what this instruction: TRUNC (date, 'IW')

I have a field which its format is date with time as: YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS for example: 2000-08-12 00:00:00 I want to get just the date part and change its format to DD/MMM/YYYY for example the expected result of the previous example will be: 12/Aug/2000 The field definition is: Ddate timestamp without time zone DEFAULT now() I read the whole page of Date/Time Functions and Operators and other sources as well but I couldn't find any information that is helpful. You can use the to_char function to format your column: SELECT TO_CHAR(ddatte, 'dd/Mon/yyyy') FROM mytable try with: to_char(your_Field

Is there a painless way to convert unix timestamps, MySQL timestamps, MySQL datetimes (or any other standard date and time format) into strings in the following form: Today, 6:00pm Tomorrow, 12:30pm Wednesday, 4:00pm Next friday, 11:00am I'm not sure what to call these - I guess conversational-style, current time sensitive date formats? As best I can tell, there is no native function for this. I have created (the start of) a function to do what you are wanting. function timeToString( $inTimestamp ) { $now = time(); if( abs( $inTimestamp-$now )<86400 ) { $t = date('g:ia',$inTimestamp); if( date

I want to display date and time format something like this "May 23 at 12:30pm" . I saw in PHP manual and found: // Prints something like: Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'); After modification I manage to get echo date('M j \of h:i a'); it is giving me "May 23 of 12:30pm" but when i replacing of with at it is giving me "May 23 a23 08:26 pm" . I don't what is going wrong. you need to escape the a and t as both have special meaning when used as formatting options in date() echo date('M j \a\t h:i a'); See it in action Try <?php echo date('M j \a\t h:i a'); ?>

I have a spreadsheet that have dates formatted as "Jan 30" etc, but have actual date values. I fetch the data using python google Sheets API like so: def get_spreadsheet_sheets(service, spreadsheetId): spreadsheet = service.spreadsheets().get(spreadsheetId=spreadsheetId).execute() dateCell = "C15" for sheet in spreadsheet['sheets']: sheetTitle = sheet['properties']['title'] rangeName = "%s!%s" % (sheetTitle, dateCell) result = service.spreadsheets().values().get( spreadsheetId=spreadsheetId, range=rangeName).execute() values = result.get('values',[]) values gives me 'Jan 30', I would like to
