In Spotfire, I created a Cross Table. In the Cross table>Properties>Data>Limit data using expression:> I put the following:
Date([Discharge Date])=>'06-01-2019'
I get the error message "The expression is not valid after '>' on line 1 character 19"
I tried Date([Discharge Date])>'06-01-2019 but it still does not work
The code is Date([Discharge Date])=>'06-01-2019'
I hope to be able to use Date([Discharge Date])=>'06-01-2019' in the Cross table>Properties>Data>Limit data using expression:
enter image description here
I tried the Date(2019,6,1) but still got the error message.

According to the Spotfire Docs:
Creates a Date from a column or values. If a single argument is given,
the input column can be of type String or DateTime. If a String is
specified, the date must be written on a form that Spotfire can
recognize and all parts of the date (year, month and day) must be
present. If three integer arguments are given, then the first
argument is the year, the second is the month and the third is the
date in that month.
Example: Date([Column]) Date(2007, 05, 17)
Change your date formatting to [Discharge Date] >= Date(2019,06,01) and try again.

I have a table that has a series of Columns with data I need to split out. Example below
STATUS#10/16 12:00:00 (CODE)
I've been able to split it easy enough and when I originally tried to set the date on an older dataset it identified it as a date e.g. 16th Oct 2021 However I started to get errors on this date column and trying with different datasets (10/12, 10/13, 10/14) it is not finding the date. I tried the following query code but I'm receiving errors
[STATUS DATE] is split to 10/14, 10/15 etc
#date( Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow), Date.Month(Text.End([STATUS DATE]), 2), Date.Day(Text.Start([STATUS DATE]),2))
However I'm getting a function error so I tried
Date.From(Date.Day(Text.Start([STATUS DATE]),2) & Date.Month(Text.End([STATUS DATE]),2) & Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow)
I have also tried to do this from an example column however the query created is looking at the cell value e.g. if 10/14 then 14/10/2021 else if 13/10 then 14/10/2021. This method i feel is prone for error once I include a larger dataset.
Is there anyway I can determine the date value based on mm/dd format? But with year end in mind, make the YYYY be determined by current year unless we move into Jan and then I don't want the Oct, Nov, Dec value showing as 2022.
You don't really show what your original data looks like.
But if it is like:
Source
Then you can use this code in the Add Custom Column dialog:
let
split=Text.SplitAny([STATUS DATE],"#/ "),
mnth = Number.From(split{1}),
dy = Number.From(split{2})
in
#date(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()),mnth,dy)
The Text.SplitAny function lets you input a list of delimiters and the text will split on all of them. So it is relatively simple to extract the month and day values
to create:
Split [STATUS DATE] one more time into [Month] and [Day] column, using the "/" as a separator. Then you don't have to bother with 1 or 2 digit numbers and you can simply use this formula:
#date(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()), [Month], [Day])
DateTime.LocalNow() is a function, so you need to add the brackets.
[Month] and [Day] are numbers already, so you don't need the Date.Month() or Date.Day() functions.
I have a job that loads a CSV into a MySQL table. The field I am paring to a date using the t-map component has empty strings for a few of the records. When parsing the string to date, I need to convert those empty strings to the current date. I've tried this expression in the tmap component with no luck. My field name is "Payroll_Pay_Date" Here is the expression:
row1.Payroll_Pay_Date equals("")?TalendDate.getCurrentDate():TalendDate.parseDate("MM/dd/yyyy",row1.Payroll_Pay_date)
I've tried several itterations of this. Actually, what I really want to is to have the empty string be replaced with the "current date - 7 days" but I figure I would start with the above. Any advice would be much appreciated.
You could do this:
row1.Payroll_Pay_Date == null || row1.Payroll_Pay_Date.trim().isEmpty() ? TalendDate.getCurrentDate() : TalendDate.parseDate("MM/dd/yyyy",row1.Payroll_Pay_date)
Here I first test if the string is null or if it's empty or containing only whitespaces, in which case I return the current date. Otherwise I parse the date.
To get the current date minus 7 days, you could do:
TalendDate.addDate(TalendDate.getCurrentDate(), -7, "dd")
I'm using today to aquire todays date and then adding a static value to the end of it using the following:
=TODAY()&"T23:00:00"
Which Returns 43202T23:00:00
I really need it in the format 2018-04-12T23:00:00
Any help on this would be great!
There are a couple ways to accomplish this, depending on whether your goal is a formatted String (to display) or a numeric value (such as data type Date) for storing or using with calculations.
If you want a formatted date/time result (to display to the user)...
Use the TEXT worksheet function:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"T23:00:00"
...the reason this works is because TODAY() returns a Date data type, which is basically just a number representing the date/time, (where 1 = midnight on January 1, 1900, 2 = midnight on January 2, 1900, 2.5 = noon on January 2, 1900,etc).
You can convert the date type to a String (text) with the TEXT function, in whatever format you like. The example above will display today's date as 2018-04-12.
If, for example, you wanted the date portion of the string displayed asApril 12, 2018 then you would instead use:
TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm d, yyyy")
Note that the TEXT worksheet function (and VBA's Format function) always return Strings, ready to be concatenated with the rest of the String that you're trying to add ("T23:00:00").
If you want to use the result in calculations...
If you instead want the result to be in a Date type, then instead of concatenating a string (produced by the TEXT function) to a string (from "T23:00:00"), you could instead add a date to a date:
=TODAY()+TIME(23,0,0)
or
=TODAY()+TIMEVALUE("23:00")
..and then you can format it as you like to show or hide Y/M/D/H/M/S as necessary with Number Formats (shortcut: Ctrl+1).

My table has a text column called Remarks which usually contains a large amount of text.
Here's an example:
3/24/2017 11:14:41 AM - EMD FOR STATUS NFU 3/30/17
3/30/2017 10:58:03 AM - CLD PER RECEPTIONIST GM UNAVAILABLE NFU 04-13-2017
4/13/2017 11:10:15 AM - CLD PER RECEPTIONIST WILL GIVE INFO NFU4/27
4/27/2017 9:02:20 AM - MLD INV WITH 90 DAY STAMP
4/27/2017 9:15:03 AM - PER REP WILL CALL CUSTOMER FOR PAYMENT
4/27/2017 11:03:46 AM - NFU 05/5PER REP CUSTOMER CONFUSION
5/5/2017 8:55:17 AM - NFU 5/9/2017 CRP PER REP CHECK WAS MLD 5/2/17
All of that text would be crammed into a single field, and I need to extract the last NFU date from the field for use in calculations and filtering.
In the above example, I would want to extract the date 5/9/2017 from the last row.
But as you can see, the date could be in any format, anywhere in the field.
I presume Excel can parse the text into a date value in any of the above formats (if not, I'll deal with that some other way - employee training, etc.)
The main things I need to figure out how to do using PowerQuery are:
Find the last instance of "NFU" in this field
Extract all text immediately following that last instance of "NFU", including the space between "NFU" and the date, if present.
At this point, the result should be:
" 5/9/2017 CRP PER REP CHECK WAS MLD 5/2/17"
Remove any whitepsace at the beginning of the string.
At this point, the result should be:
"5/9/2017 CRP PER REP CHECK WAS MLD 5/2/17"
Find the first character that is not 0-9, /, or - (or the end of the string, whichever comes first)
Truncate the string at the first non-date character, if appropriate.
At this point, the result should be:
"5/9/2017"
Finally, attempt to format the resulting text into Date type/format, and return as the result for a PowerQuery custom column.
Looking at the PowerQuery string functions available, I'm not sure whether this is even possible.
I guess you mean the Power Query Text functions. These are somewhat limited indeed, but there are plenty other options in Power Query's function library: in this case the List functions can come to the rescue.
By the way: I checked for " NFU" in order to avoid "CONFUSION" (last but one line in your examples).
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
Typed = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"example", type text}}),
LastNFU = Table.AddColumn(Typed, "LastNFU", each Text.PositionOf([example]," NFU",Occurrence.Last), Int64.Type),
AfterNFU = Table.AddColumn(LastNFU, "AfterNFU", each if [LastNFU] = -1 then null else Text.Range([example],[LastNFU]+4)),
Trimmed = Table.TransformColumns(AfterNFU,{{"AfterNFU", Text.Trim}}),
TextToList = Table.TransformColumns(Trimmed,{{"AfterNFU", each if _ = null then {} else Text.ToList(_)}}),
ListFirstN = Table.TransformColumns(TextToList,{{"AfterNFU", each List.FirstN(_, each Text.Contains("01234567890-/",_))}}),
TextCombine = Table.TransformColumns(ListFirstN, {"AfterNFU", Text.Combine, type text}),
Date = Table.TransformColumnTypes(TextCombine,{{"AfterNFU", type date}}, "en-US"),
Renamed = Table.RenameColumns(Date,{{"AfterNFU", "Date"}}),
Removed = Table.RemoveColumns(Renamed,{"LastNFU"})
in
Removed
A simple formula like =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-(FIND("NFU",A1,1)-1)) would work to extract the string next to NFU. Assuming the text is at cell A1.
But needs to further drill down to get your other requirements.
I'm new to Stata, and I'm wondering how can I change a string variable which contains a date to a date format.
The data in the variable looks like this:
yyyy-mm-dd
Should I first remove the dashes so that Stata can recognize the format in order to later use gen var = date() ?
Thank you for your help.
The Stata date function is smart about removing separator characters. See help datetime_translation under the section "the date function"
If your dates are in v1 and in the form yyyy-mm-dd you can specify the commands:
generate v2 = date(v1, "YMD")
format %td v2
The YMD is called a mask, and it tells Stata the order in which the parts of the date are specified. The second line will assign the variable the Stata daily date format, which means that when you look at that variable in the data, it will be shown in human readable form. The date is stored, however, as the number of days since January 1, 1960.
The best way to experiment with the date function is to use the display command. The first line will display an integer representing the number of days since January 1, 1960. The second line will display the date in a human readable format.
display date("2013-08-14", "YMD")
display %td date("2013-08-14", "YMD")
you can look here to see how to convert to data in Stata or do like this
tostring datedx, replace
generate str4 dxyr1= substr(datedx,1,4)
generate str2 dxmo1 = substr(datedx,6,7)
generate str2 dxda1 = substr(datedx,9,10)
destring dx*, replace
gen datedx1 = mdy(dxmo1, dxda1, dxyr1)
