I have a problem with the Function Module "GUI_DOWNLOAD" because of the date converting.
I want to get the date like I have it in my internal table but CSV (Excel) keeps converting it everytime.
The internal table contains the line like this: 12345678;GroupDate;2021-12-31;
The Output in the .csv-File should be "2021-12-31" but it keeps converting to "31.12.2021".
I also tried to put an ' (apostroph) before the date but the output will be '2021-12-31
Does anybode have an Idea ?
lv_conv = '2021-12-31'.
CONCATENATE TEXT-001 LV_CONV INTO LV_CONV.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = IV_PATH
TABLES
DATA_TAB = LT_FILE.
LT_FILE is a string table.
Thanks for the help.
Like Suncatcher and Sandra said the file is right but it is only the settings from excel which convert the date.
If the Output file won´t be needed for other purposes than showing the code could be something like this
CONCATENATE '=("' LV_CONV '")' INTO LV_CONV.
The csv-Output would be a date like this 1960-01-01 but in the cell the value would look like =("1960-01-01").

I have two dates in my Excel table with the following format: "dd-mm-yyyy". These dates need to be sent as URL query parameters to an API endpoint for getting some data using PowerQuery. However, the API endpoint does not accept dates in that format. Therefore, I need to convert them to the format "mm-dd-yyyy" instead for it to work.
For getting the values from my table, I use the following code:
let GetNamedRange=(NamedRange) =>
let
name = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name=NamedRange]}[Content],
value = name{0}[Column1]
in
value
in
GetNamedRange
This function, called "GetValue", is then called when inserting URL query parameters in my GET request:
Csv.Document(Web.Contents("my.api/leave/leavecsv", [Query = [periodStart = GetValue("periodStart"), periodEnd = GetValue("periodEnd"), department = GetValue("department")]]),[Delimiter=";", Columns=14, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])
Currently the cells for my dates are in Text format. I tried using Date.FromText(...) to format the dates, but I get an error saying the datetime format is invalid.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/date-fromtext
How can I propertly format my date values before inserting them as URL query parameters using PowerQuery?
Ensure your dates are real dates and set to type date. then you can use the Date.ToText function:
let
theDate = #date(2022,12,7),
output = Date.ToText(theDate,"MM-dd-yyyy")
in
output
If, for some reason, you must maintain your dates as text strings (I'd like to know why, if that's the case), you can convert them first to a "real" date, and then create the string:
let
theDate = "13-12-2022",
output = Date.ToText(Date.FromText(theDate, "en-150"),"MM-dd-yyyy")
in
output
Make sure you pass in a culture and format. i.e.
Date.FromText([Column1], [Format="dd-MM-yyyy", Culture="en-UK"])
I need to save an itab as an xstring or something like this and save it in dbtab.
Later I need to gather this xstring from dbtab and convert it in the itab before with exactly the same input from before.
I tried a lot of fuba´s like:
SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING or SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY but I didn´t find something to convert it back.
Does somebody have tried something like this before and have some samples for me ?
Unfortunately I didn´t find something on other blogs or else.
An easy solution to convert into an xstring:
CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE root = it_table RESULT XML DATA(lv_xstring).
Back would be like:
CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE XML lv_xstring RESULT root = it_table.
For more information, see the ABAP documentation about data serialization and deserialization by using the XSL Identity Transformation.
use
import ... from data buffer
and
export ... to data buffer
to (re)store any variable as xstring.
Or you can use
import|export ... from|to database ...
I did some methods to do this:
First I loop at the table and concatenate it into a string.
Then convert the string into an xstring.
LOOP AT IT_TABLE ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<LS_TABLE>).
CONCATENATE LV_STRING <LS_TABLE> INTO LV_STRING SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
EXPORTING
TEXT = IV_STRING
IMPORTING
BUFFER = LV_XSTRING.
Back would be like:
Convert xstring back to string
String into table
TRY.
CL_BCS_CONVERT=>XSTRING_TO_STRING(
EXPORTING
IV_XSTR = IV_XSTRING
IV_CP = 1100 " SAP character set identification
RECEIVING
RV_STRING = LV_STRING
).
CATCH CX_BCS.
ENDTRY.
SPLIT IV_STRING AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE INTO: TABLE <LT_TABLE> .
READ TABLE <LT_TABLE> ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<LS_TABLE>) INDEX 1.
IF <LS_TABLE> IS INITIAL.
DELETE TABLE <LT_TABLE> FROM <LS_TABLE>.
ENDIF.
I have a column of text data in a csv file that looks something like this for each row:
{variable_1=result1, variable2=null, variable_three=result_3, variable_4=[{var4.1=result4.1, var4.2=result4.2, var4.3=result4.3}], variable_5=null}
I am trying to write some formulas to ultimately have the data look like this in Excel:
raw data
variable_1
variable2
variable_three
var4.1
var4.2
var4.3
variable_5
{variable_1=result1, variable2=null, variable_three=result_3, variable_4=[{var4.1=result4.1, var4.2=result4.2, var4.3=result4.3}], variable_5=null}
result1
null
result_3
result4.1
result4.2
result4.3
null
The variable names will be the same for each run of the query that fetches this, but the results will vary in character length--which is why I formatted my example the way I did. There is multiple rows of this too.
What's the best way to go about this??
Edit: There are approx 30 variables in my actual data
I have a 2 column data in the following format where Name is a string and Location is an array seperated with commas
Name------Location
John---------A,B,C,D
Paul----------E,F,G,H
I want to convert it to the following format
Name--------Location
John-----------A
John-----------B
John-----------C
John-----------D
Paul------------E
Paul------------F
Can someone suggested how can I achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.
There are many ways to accomplish this. One option is to use Split, along the following lines:
Location = "A,B,C,D"
LocationList = Split(Location, ",")
That will populate LocationList with an array of individual locations. You can then loop through the individual locations and generate your output.
As a start, I am extremely new at Python.
I am receiving an Excel file where the date field is incomplete. The value displays as "190808" (YYMMDD) instead of "2019-08-08".
Part of my automation attempt is to move the file to a different location, where the file is renamed. I want to use the date field to change the file name to the file description and date (e.g. "Sales figures 201908").
The code I have only works if the date format is
str(df['Bank date'][0].strftime("%Y%m"))
I have tried dateparser with the following:
dateparser.parse(df['Bank date'][0].strftime("%Y.%m"))
The error I am receiving is 'numpy.int64' object has no attribute 'strftime'
Any help will do.
Thanks.
I modified it slightly and built my own date-string using slicing.
vOldDate = str(df['Bank date'][0])
vNewDate = '20' + vOldDate[:2] + '.' + vOldDate[2:4]
Numpy is interpreting the date as an integer. To use dateparser, you need to convert that value into a string first, then parse that string, and then format the result:
dateparser.parse(str(df['Bank date'][0])).strftime("%Y.%m")
Since the input format is expected, you should specify it to ensure you get the right date:
>>> dateparser.parse(str(190808), date_formats=['%y%m%d']).strftime("%Y.%m")
'2019.08'
