I am trying to obtain a date from an XML file that is in this format:
2016-10-27
however, the field I am trying to put it in is in this format:
mm/dd/yyyy
is there a code for this in dynamics ax 2012? I tried str2date but it doesn't output anything.
SOLVED: Just to let you guys know even though you are obtaining a string that has a format like mine 2016-10-27 AX automatically formats it to the default format to 10/27/2016 just input the sequence correctly. (THIS IS NOT PART OF THE ANSWER I AM JUST EXPLAINING MY FINDINGS)
You will need to use str2date(string _date, int _sequence). Specify the related format in sequence. Your desired format will be 213

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)
Im trying to convert a U.K. input date (dd-MM-yyyy) to format (yyyy-MM-dd)
I tried
"#formatDateTime('15-03-2019','yyyy-MM-dd')" ==> Error
but got error:
'In function 'convertTimeZone', the value provided
for date time string '15-03-2019' was not valid. The datetime
string must match ISO 8601 format.'
How do I go about converting this input date? The input format is (dd-MM-yyyy) and cannot be changed.
I can easily convert from (MM-dd-yyyy) as shown below, but im not able to convert from (dd-MM-yyyy)
"#formatDateTime('03-15-2019','yyyy-MM-dd')" ==> OK
Date and time functions provided by azure logic app cannot recognize the timestamp in dd-MM-yyyy format.
After my research, there is no existing function that can directly solve this problem, but you can use substring and concat to deal with this problem.
The workflow of the logic app looks like this:
The expression of the formatDataTime:
formatDateTime(concat(substring(<your-date-string>,6,4),'-',substring(<your-date-string>,3,2),'-',substring(<your-date-string>,0,2)),'yyyy-MM-dd')
I am attempting to reformat a datetime value in a cell that contains TZ UTC data. An example value is: 2019-12-09T14:50:47.000Z-0500
I need it to display as:
MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ssXM - ex: 12/09/2019 02:50:47PM
Local time, of course.
I have tried reading the moment.js doc without success. Here is a snippet I have attempted. The table shows up with "blank rows." If I remove the formatting, the data shows correctly but not with the date and time format I would like.
{title:"Last Submitted", field:"createdOn", sorter:"date", formatter:"datetime", formatterParams:{inputFormat:"YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss", outputFormat:"MM/DD/YYYY", invalidPlaceholder:"(Invalid date)"}},
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE BASED ON ANSWER 12/26/2019
Thank you again for responding. However, this is perhaps an issue for the author of Tabulator since I copied the inputFormat and outputFormat verbatim into the column definition of a Tabulator component and it displays blank rows. If I remove the column cell formatter (which is a wrapper around moment.js code), the list displays with the full timestamp (including UTC / zulu time).
ex:
2019-12-09T12:50:47.000Z-0500
Expected result (either 24h or 12h format doesn't matter at this point - and I did try to remove the "A" for the AM/PM indicator)
Unfortunately, I cannot upload the code for this project since it makes internal WS calls for JSON results (which is another issue - Remote Pagination does not appear to be working.)
Here is the source code for the column:
{title:"Last Submitted", field:"createdOn", sorter:"date", formatter:"datetime", formatterParams:{inputFormat:"YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.SSS[Z]Z", outputFormat:"MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ssA",invalidPlaceholder:"(Invalid date)"}},
As stated above, if I add the formatter, blank table appear and nothing else. If I remove the formatter all data is displayed including the unformatted date (well it's formatted in a way in which I nor my users will want).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

With momentjs you can parse date if you know the format of an input string:
moment(inDate, inFormat);
For example:
moment('12-25-1995', 'MM-DD-YYYY');
In your case format of an input string is YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.SSS[Z]Z - square brackets work as escape characters.
You can get formatted string from moment object with .format method:
moment().format(outFormat);
For example:
moment().format('MM-DD-YYYY');
In your case format of an output string is MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ssA - you can read more in docs
You can see how both parsing and formatting work together in the snippet below:
let inDate = '2019-12-09T14:50:47.000Z-0500',
inFormat = 'YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.SSS[Z]Z',
outFormat = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ssA',
outDate = moment(inDate, inFormat).format(outFormat);
console.log(`In Date: ${inDate}`);
console.log(`Out Date: ${outDate}`);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.min.js"></script>
I need to convert a string formatted as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI plus AM/PM, but can't find a complete reference to the format string to find how to specify the AM/PM part.
I would certainly appreciate information on how to do this, but would appreciate a link to a good source of documentation for this even more.
:EDIT
SELECT top 1
v.CalendarDateTime
,TO_TIMESTAMP(v.CalendarDateTime,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIAM') as CalendarDateTimeTS
--,CAST(TO_TIMESTAMP(v.CalendarDateTime,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIAM') AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYBHH:MIBT') AS CalendarDateTimeTS2
12/03/2015 03:00AM 12/3/2015 03:00:00.000000
The commented out line produces a "DateTime field overflow" error.
You probably want TO_TIMESTAMP instead of TO_DATE.
The only bad thing about the Oracle function is the resulting datatype of TIMESTAMP(6) which can't be changed:
TO_TIMESTAMP('12/03/2015 03:00AM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIAM')
Using Teradata's FORMAT you can specify the timestamp precision, but it's less flexible than Oracle's, the string must match the format exactly:
CAST('12/03/2015 03:00AM' AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYbHH:MIT')
On the Teradata site you'll find the (slow) online docu, e.g. TO_DATE formats or Teradata FORMATs. Of course you should download the full documentation CD for your release.
Please tell us at least which programming language are you using.
Normally it would be something like "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI a" but we need to know first you language.
I am trying to display a datetime in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm (e.g. 2012-12-31 23:59)
In PHP I would normally use the format YYYY-mm-dd HH:ii to get what I want. I have been looking through the SAS knowledge base and the closest I can get is E8601DTw.d which provides 2008-09-15T15:53:00 which includes seconds as well as a "T" where I'd like a space.
Is there a format to do what I'd like? If not, is there a way to create my own? I don't know that much SAS myself I'm just trying to modify an existing system. Any help is appreciated.
If the standard datetime formats provided do not meet your requirements you can create a new format:
PROC FORMAT;
picture MyMSdt other='%0Y-%0m-%0d %0H:%0M' (datatype=datetime);
RUN;
DATA TEST;
mydatetime='25nov2009 14:44:56'dt;
format newdt MyMSdt.;
newdt=mydatetime;
put mydatetime= newdt=;
RUN;
Taken from this example that you can easily customize.
