I'm using AwesomeWM, and I'm trying to display the time in my wibox using this code
vicious.register(datewidget, vicious.widgets.date, os.date("%b ")..(os.date("%d")+0).. ', ' ..(os.date("%I")+0)..os.date(":%M")..string.lower( os.date(" %p ")), 1)
The time is correct when I open AwesomeWM, but it doesn't update. For whatever reason , 1) doesn't work.
heres my full rc.lua
I guess the problem is with what the register function expects. It expects a format string with which it can calculate date itself. Here you're passing a literal string instead of formatting parameters.
From your older question, I found a different method for the same. Now, your vicious need to be like:
vicious.register(datewidget, vicious.widgets.date, "<span font-family='terminus' color='#999999'>%b %d, %l:%M %P</span>", 1)
And it should work.
P.S. Thanks to sa1

I have had to look up hundreds (if not thousands) of free-text answers on google, making notes in Excel along the way and inserting SAS-code around the answers as a last step.
The output looks like this:
This output contains an unnecessary number of blank spaces, which seems to confuse SAS's search to the point where the observations can't be properly located.
It works if I manually erase superflous spaces, but that will probably take hours. Is there an automated fix for this, either in SAS or in excel?
I tried using the STRIP-function, to no avail:
else if R_res_ort_txt=strip(" arild ") and R_kom_lan=strip(" skåne ") then R_kommun=strip(" Höganäs " );
If you want to generate a string like:
if R_res_ort_txt="arild" and R_kom_lan="skåne" then R_kommun="Höganäs";
from three variables, let's call them A B C, then just use code like:
string=catx(' ','if R_res_ort_txt=',quote(trim(A))
,'and R_kom_lan=',quote(trim(B))
,'then R_kommun=',quote(trim(C)),';') ;
Or if you are just writing that string to a file just use this PUT statement syntax.
put 'if R_res_ort_txt=' A :$quote. 'and R_kom_lan=' B :$quote.
'then R_kommun=' C :$quote. ';' ;
A saner solution would be to continue using the free-text answers as data and perform your matching criteria for transformations with a left join.
proc import out=answers datafile='my-free-text-answers.xlsx';
data have;
attrib R_res_ort_txt R_kom_lan length=$100;
input R_res_ort_txt ...;
datalines4;
... whatever all those transforms will be performed on...
;;;;
proc sql;
create table want as
select
have.* ,
answers.R_kommun_answer as R_kommun
from
have
left join
answers
on
have.R_res_ort_txt = answers.res_ort_answer
& have.R_kom_lan = abswers.kom_lan_answer
;
I solved this by adding quotes in excel using the flash fill function:

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'
I'm using the Apache POI framework for parsing large Excel spreadsheets. I'm using this example code as a guide: XLSX2CSV.java
I'm finding that cells that contain just numbers are implicitly being treated as numeric fields, while I wanted them to be treated always as strings. So rather than getting 1.00E+13 (which I'm currently getting) I'll get the original string value: 10020300000000.
The example code uses a XSSFSheetXMLHandler which is passed an instance of DataFormatter. Is there a way to use that DataFormatter to treat all cells as strings?
Or as an alternative: in the implementation of the interface SheetContentsHandler.cell method there is string value that is the cellReference. Is there a way to convert a cellReference into an index so that I can use the SharedStringsTable.getEntryAt(int idx) method to read directly from the strings table?
To reproduce the issue, just run the sample code on an xlsx file of your choice with a number like the one in my example above.
UPDATE: It turns out that the string value I get seems to match what you would see in Excel. So I guess that's going to be "good enough" generally. I'd expect the data I'm sent to "look right" and therefore it'll get parsed correctly. However, I'm sure there will be mistakes and in those cases it'd be nice if I could get at the raw string value using the streaming API.
To resolve this issue I created my own class based on XSSFSheetXMLHandler
I copied that class, renamed it and then in the endElement method I changed this part of the code which is formatting the raw string:
case NUMBER:
String n = value.toString();
if (this.formatString != null && n.length() > 0)
thisStr = formatter.formatRawCellContents(Double.parseDouble(n), this.formatIndex, this.formatString);
else
thisStr = n;
break;
I changed it so that it would not format the raw string:
case NUMBER:
thisStr = value.toString();
break;
Now every number in my spreadsheet has its raw value returned rather than a formatted version.
In a spreadsheet formula, =VALUE("$100") will evaluate to the numeric value of 100. I then tried to access this function in VBA via WorksheetFunction object, however it is missing.
In VBA I tried the conversion function Val("$100"), however that returns 0. So how can I accomplish this via VBA?
Val() only really works if the string is all numbers I'm afraid - currency signs cause it a problem.
If you're always going to have the same currency sign in the string, it might be worth using something like
StringName = replace(StringName, "$", "")
to take out the $ by replacing it with "" - otherwise if your strings aren't always going to be this predictable the below question might help:
How to find numbers from a string?
see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.worksheetfunction.numbervalue
example of using above, which will return a value of -1234.56:
MsgBox WorksheetFunction.NumberValue("-$1,234.56", ".", ",")
Note that if the result is non-numeric, it throws an error. For example (swapping the comma grouping and decimal character params which is invalid in this case):
MsgBox WorksheetFunction.NumberValue("-$1,234.56", ".", ",")
I don't understand why the above link doesn't have any version info. It is currently dated 2019-05-23 - no idea if that's because it is new or if it was recently updated.
jQueryUI Datepicker documentation states that the minDate option can be set using "a string in the current dateFormat". So I've tried the following to initialize datepickers:
$("input.date").datepicker({ minDate: "01/01/2010", maxDate: "12/31/2010" });
However, this results in my datepicker having a selectable date range that goes from 11/06/2015 to 12/17/2015.
I've checked the current dateformat and its mm/dd/yy, which is supposed to mean 2 digits for the month, 2 for the day, and 4 for the year, separated by slashes. I've also tried including dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy" in the inizialization statement.
I've also checked the values for minDate and maxDate afterwards and they ARE being set to the values I want: 01/01/2010 and 12/31/2010.
I want to be able to set min/maxDate with strings because I'm being passed these values as strings from somewhere else. Maybe someone knows why this happens and how to solve this, or a workaround to achieve this, perphaps changing the format of the date strings or something?
Thanks
EDIT:
Using: jQuery v1.3.2 and jQuery UI v1.7.2
In the end I had to use something like this, since the v1.7 datepicker has no probs with Dates:
$.getJSON("/GetMinMaxDates/", function(dates) {
var DateLimits = {min:null, max:null};
DateLimits.min = new Date(Date.parse(dates.min));
DateLimits.max = new Date(Date.parse(dates.max));
$("input.date").datepicker({ dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy", minDate: DateLimits.min, maxDate: DateLimits.max });
});
Appears to be a "bug" in 1.3.2 with 1.7.2. In 1.4.2 with 1.8.1 all is fine.
I found your last method to be best for IE7/8 anyway. IE returns NaN in string-fed Date functions; as soon as I parsed to numbers the problem disappeared.
