I am trying to print date and time of the printing at the footer section of acumatica report.
I can print date using Now(), but it is not printing the time. Is there any way I can get the time part along with date?
Using Now function only prints the date part and not date time. I have used Format function to print Date & time in the report
=Format( '{0:G}', Now() )
Use the Now() function inside the page header. Review screen ID AR650500. That has a proper example you can use.

We are looking to compare the calendar start date with the current date in flow. Currently we are pulling the start date through a filter query like this:
formatDateTime('EventDate','M-d-yyy hh:mm')
and comparing to this:
formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),3),'M-d-yyyy hh:mm')
I am getting this error currently: "Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Get_items' inputs at line '1' and column '17987': 'In function 'formatDateTime', the value provided for date time string 'EventDate' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format."
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
You could Initialize a variable like the following below and then do a IF condition.
#{add(div(sub(ticks(utcNow()),ticks('1900-01-01')),864000000000),2)}
I test with the same formula to convert event start date and it works fine in my end. The if condition returns correct result on different conditions.
Here is the logic of my demo flow, please have a check:
I use get item to get the start date of a certain event in the calendar list and convert the start time dynamic content to the format I need. Almost same with yours.
According to the error message, it seems the format of the event date column is not in the supported format. Would you like to provide the settings of your event date column? I test with the default start time column and a custom date & time column of default settings. Both of them works fine with the flow above.
Update:
The two formulas used are displayed below:
formatDateTime(outputs('Get_item')?['body/Event_x0020_Date'],'M-d-yyy hh:mm')
formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),3),'M-d-yyyy hh:mm')
I just directly use the outputs of the data compose action in the if condition
What worked for me was to build a sequence of numbers with the dates being ordered by day, month and year this way, when converting to integer, it's easy to compare
int(formatDateTime(utcNow()),'yyyyMMdd'))
if you need add day for exemple, you can use
int(formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),variables('extraDays')),'yyyyMMdd'))
and the other date like this
int(formatDateTime(variables('FinalDate'),'yyyyMMdd'))
Based on your example, you can put hours and minutes without any problems, just remove the special characters and spaces
but by the definition of the error you are having, I believe it is because of the way you are writing the variable
How can i display the current date and time in a field with date type.
I can show the current date with today() but how can i display the current time.
Furthermore i want display these two in one field.
Thanks for every help.

I am afraid that is not possible as a field of type date holds just that - the date. Use type utcdatetime and the appropriate control UtcDateTimeEdit to show dates & times in one control.
To retrieve the current date & time you can call DateTimeUtil::utcNow() to which you may want to apply the local time zone via DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset
Try this:
utcDateTime _utcDateTime;
;
_utcDateTime = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime();
Then you can extract separately the date and the time if you want.
In lotus notes script i need complete logic for subtracting thirty days from current date in CCYYMMDD format and I want to print this date using print statement so that I would see the result. I need full version of the lotus notes script including definition and data type of all variables used. I tried using many ways either I get empty results or data type mismatch while printing. I need your help please. Thank you
Dim dt As New NotesDateTime("")
dt.SetNow
dt.SetAnyTime
dt.AdjustDay -30
Print Format(dt.LSLocalTime, "YYYYMMDD")
I have a spreadsheet I created mid-August which has a table with one column for every day since then. The column header is the day's date. The date is displayed how I want it to be displayed: "dd/mm/yyyy"
However, I have macro which needs to read these dates in order to perform its work. Because I am using a table, the dates seem to be held as text rather than as 5-digit numbers (when I set the header cells' format to "General", it remains with the "dd/mm/yyyy" format rather than changing to a 5-digit number. This wasn't a problem until the 1st of September, after which CDate (in the macro) began reading these dates as "mm/dd/yyyy"
Is there any way to make CDate recognise the Australian date format rather than the American? Or failing that, make the table headers stay as dates rather than as text? I'd rather avoid having to convert the Table back to a range, as the macro is designed to use table attributes, ListColumns etc.
UPDATE:
I've narrowed down the problem. It isn't the date, but the ListColumn.Name property. For some reason it is re-converting my date. I'm using Format() to set the date format, like so:
CreateHistoryColumn.Name = Format(headerDate, "dd/mm/yyyy")
MsgBox Day(headerDate) & "/" & Month(headerDate) & "/" & Year(headerDate)
MsgBox Format(headerDate, "dd/mm/yyyy")
MsgBox CreateHistoryColumn.Name
Where CreateHistoryCol is an object of class ListColumn. The 3 MsgBox calls display the following:
6/9/2012
06/09/2012
9/06/2012
So the Format() call formats the date correctly, but the call to ListColumn.Name serves to alter the format to "mm/dd/yyyy".
From help file:
CDate recognizes date formats according to the locale setting of your system. The correct order of day, month, and year may not be determined if it is provided in a format other than one of the recognized date settings.
I hate relying on the locale because most of the time it seems to do the opposite of what I intended, plus it makes code less portable.
I usually deal with dates as explicitly as possible:
Split your string into the various parts (year, month, day, as well as hour, minute, second if relevant)
Stick the various parts in the DateSerial function. This returns a Date type. (To that you can add the output of TimeSerial, if applicable.)
If necessary for display purposes, format this Date as appropriate using the Format function, which returns a string.
Here's a worked example.
As I showed in the update, the ListColumn.Name method was responsible for the unwanted conversion. I still don't know why, but there is any easy fix:
CreateHistoryColumn.Name = CLng(headerDate)
This forces the header to be treated as a number, and therefore it can be recognised as its proper date. I can't explain it any further than that.
I have column called "Date Submitted" as Date/time in one of the Custom list in sharepoint 2007.
it always set to today's date and 12AM time instead of that I want to display today's date with current time hh:mm:ss.
I tried creating calculated column TestDate and formula is : =TEXT(([Date Submitted]),"mm dd yyyy h:MM:SS")
result is 04 28 2010 0:00:00 I wanted to be 04/28/2010 10:50:34
Is it possible to achive this?
Thank you

try to put =NOW() in the default value field in the column properties
In the definition of Date Submitted, is the Date and Time Format currently Date Only? If so, try changing it to Date & Time.
For something like this, I ended up creating a custom action which is called from a workflow.
A few ideas to get you started :-
Can you use the Created date instead - it will always be set to the exact time the record was created?
When entering a new item on the Calendar list it defaults to the current time - could you make your list from a modified Calendar list rather than the Custom list?
I've written a blog post about how you can use a JavaScript hack to set the default duration for a new calendar record - you could modify this to use with a Custom list and to set the field to the current time.
Setting a default duration for new calendar events
You could write your own custom field type
SharePoint 2007 Custom Date Time Field to default the time to the current time
Codeplex - custom date time field
=TEXT([DateFiled Here],"mm/dd/YYYY hh:mm:ss ")
Here's how to do what you want:
=TEXT(Today,"mm/dd/YYYY")&" "&TEXT(Now(),"h:mm:ss")
