I'm trying to convert a datetime that looks like this: 2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00 into EST, but i keep getting Null values when using the hive built in UTC conversion.
I've tried using a regular expression to parse the date:
date_format(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
- (cast(regexp_extract(regexp_extract(2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00, '(-[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9])$', 1),'(-[0-9][0-9])',1) as int)*3600) -18000),'YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm')
but that's not good, since there's an hourly difference based on the time of year.
I've also tried:
FROM_UTC_TIMESTAMP(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss:SSS'ZZZZZ'") * 1000, 'EST')
and
FROM_UTC_TIMESTAMP(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00, "yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ss:SSS'Z'") * 1000, 'EST')
but that appears to not work either. What am I doing wrong?
I think that this method needs the date as a string like this:
date_format(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp('2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00', "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
Normally, the date formats are for strings, not for integers or numbers.
I found the answer on my own by combining the two ways of running the query.
date_format(
FROM_UTC_TIMESTAMP(
(unix_timestamp('2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00', "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
+ (cast(
regexp_extract(
regexp_extract('2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00', '(-[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9])$',1),'(-[0-9][0-9])',1) as int)
*-3600)
)*1000 ,'America/New York')
,'YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
You are getting NULL because the pattern (format of the date and time) you have provided is not matching with the actual date time value. Correcting the date time format in your query would resolve this issue:
select from_unixtime(UNIX_TIMESTAMP("2017-09-19T07:00:00-07:00", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX"), "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

I have a DateTime variable (default formatting), and I would like to format it to a format to I receive from a string parameter.
I normally do something similar to: {myDate:yyyy-MM-dd}, and it works properly.
Now I have a lot of possible date formats and need to format according to the chosen one.
I have tried the following but returned garbage (ae0aor0aa):
string testFormat = "yyyy. MM. dd.";
{myDate:testFormat }
I have also tried to convert the date to string and back to date with ParseExact, but gave me an invalid date exception. NB: the date in myDate is valid, as I have checked it with the debugger.
Can you kindly advise?
Thanks to apc, it was easily solved by myDate.ToString(testFormat)
I have a date in this format "2020-12-16T02:48:00" that came from the server. How can I convert this into local date and time? I tried some code but couldn't succeed.
Below is the attempt that I had made in angular after receiving date from the server.
response.data.map(date=>{
var centralDate = moment( date).zone("-06:00");
date = moment(centralDate).local().format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss');
})
If indeed the value is in UTC (as per the title of your question), and it looks like "2020-12-16T02:48:00", and you want to convert it to local time, then you should do the following:
moment.utc(date).local().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
That does the following:
Parses the input in terms of UTC
Converts it to local time
Formats it as a string in the given format
Note also that you had hh in your original format. That is for hours in a 12-hour time format and thus you shouldn't use it without also using either A or a to indicate AM/PM or am/pm. Otherwise HH is for hours in a 24-hour time format.
If your issue is that the timezone doesn't change you can resolve using utcOffset (https://momentjscom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moment/03-manipulating/09-utc-offset/) in this way:
response.data.map(date=>{
date = moment( date).utcOffset(-360);
})
Where 360 is the conversion fo the hours in minutes
var d= new Date();
d = new Date(d+ "Z")
I am not an expert in angular but I guess the trouble in your date is the word âTâ. May be using string removal function you can remove the word âTâ and then it becomes a proper date time value?
I've read thru various posts on here in regards to similiar issues but none have solved my problem.
I manipulate the moment.js date object, and then store it as timestamp.
BUT, when I try to read in that timestamp again, I get that deprecated warning.
""Deprecation warning: moment construction falls back to js Date. This is discouraged and will be removed in upcoming major release. Please refer to https://github.com/moment/moment/issues/1407 for more info."
I've tried toDate(), format(), moment(myTimeStamp, 'ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss ZZ'); --> all generate the warning...
So, for example, my timestamp will look like this:
const timestamp = '1458586740000'
when I read that back and try to parse out the month/day/year, then the hour/min am/pm, etc... I need to get that timestamp into a moment.js object. Nothing is working for me. Any ideas.
How can I get this timestamp: '1458586740000', into a moment.js object so I can extract date date from it as I need?
EDIT: this is how I am storing the timestamp. So I would need to retrieve it from this.
let timeStamp = Moment(state[_Date])
.add({ hour: state[AMPM] === 'PM'
? +state[Hour] + 12
: state[Hour] ,
minute: state[Min] }).format('x')
The X token indicates a unix timestamp in seconds, and the x token indicates a unix millisecond timestamp (offset).
You appear to have a millisecond timestamp, so you would make a moment out of it by doing the following:
var a = moment('1458586740000', 'x')
It works without ' as well:
var a = moment(1458586740000, 'x')
You can also not specify the x and it should work:
moment(1458586740000)
Because you have a unix offset (milliseconds), not a unix timestamp (seconds), moment.unix is not what you want.
Then you can do the following:
a.format()
"2016-03-21T13:59:00-05:00"
Or you can use any of the other formatting tokens listed here to output whatever result you would like: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/
Based on the code you presented, I think you may be having problems because your timestamp is stored as a string (in ''). Parsing as a string causes an invalid date error, because it attempts to match ISO 8601 format and fails. Specifying that 'x' token will cause it to assume unix offset and work correctly.
I have a scenario where i need to convert a Datefield(joindate) to currentcompany timezone date. And then i need to compare this with anotherdate(startdate). If the difference is more than 365 days i need to give an warning. Can someone help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
You can apply a timezone to an utcdatetime via DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset
The company timezone can be retrieved by calling DateTimeUtil::getCompanyTimeZone
Afterwards calculate the difference by calling DateTimeUtil::getDifference, which returns the difference in seconds so you have to compare that with the seconds per year.
To avoid inserting a 'magic' number, use the constants in the macro library TimeConstants.
If Datefield(joindate) is of type date and not utcDateTime then DateTimeUtil::newDateTime() should be used to convert it to utcDateTime:
utcDateTime joinDateTime = DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(joindate, 0,
DateTimeUtil::getCompanyTimeZone());
DateTimeUtil::getDifference() can be used to get the number of seconds between the utcDateTime values.
If both Datefield(joindate) and anotherdate(startdate) are of type date and not utcDateType then no conversion is required at all, and you can check whether the difference is more than 365 as follows:
if (joindate - startdate > 365) {}
If the above assumptions are wrong, see DAXaholic's answer.
So I know I can use =FormatDate(MyDate ,"mm/dd/yy") to turn a date into a string. I am then trying to add on a time:
=FormatDate(AdminDate ,"mm/dd/yy") + MyTime
Which works, however, I need to format this back to a datetime field (as I need to compare against a preexisting datetime field). I try using Todate(), but the documentation is very light, and provides very little on what is acceptable in the formatting of the date area, and nothing in the way of time!
I have attempted:
=ToDate(FormatDate(MyDate ,"mm/dd/yy HH:mm:ss") + MyTime ,"mm/dd/yy HH:mm:ss")
but this will only work when there is no time (and it just nulls out the time) and any row with a time will return a #ERROR
Anyone have an insight on formatting datetimes?
Thanks
The correct way to use the FormatDate command to output date and time components together in 12 hour format is:
=FormatDate(AdminDate; "MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss a")
and in 24 hour format is:
=FormatDate(AdminDate; "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss")
Note MM is used in months and mm in minutes.
