I have a custom content type called events in which uses a field called event_date. When I set the date and look at the node, it correctly shows the date I entered:
However, when I do a dpm on node_insert to see the values getting saved, here is what's being reported to me:
As you can see, this is not what I entered in and these are the exact values that gets stored in the database as well.
My questions:
1) How can I get the correct values? (I'd like to get 03/30/2016 and 7:00pm)
2) Why are these values different but the node still shows them correctly? where the time being saved?
Thanks
I have answer for second question and then you will easier find answer to first one also.
You see offset of -18000.
That is 300 minutes.
Which equals to 5 hours.
2016-03-31 00:00 -(minus) 5 hours is 2016-03-30 07:00pm
So you need to use function to format date that will include that offset also. Check comments and links from: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/33686/32059

I am having a field named rpc in my elasticsearch database and I am displaying it using Kibana. When I search in search bar of kibana like:
rpc:*
It display all the values of rpc field but I want to have only those value to be displayed which are unique.
I have been playing around with Kibana4 since a couple of weeks now. I find it intuitive and simple and the experience has been great till now. Following your question, I tried getting unique results via a Data Table visualization. Why? Because I personally find it easier to understand. Following are the steps:
1. Get unique count
Create the visualization (Visualize -> Data Table). First lets get
the count of how many unique entries we have for a particular field
(We will use this in the later part for verification). I'm using
clientip.raw but as I see, it will work just fine with any friendly
field name too.
2. Set the aggregation right
Set you aggregation back to count and have a Split Rows as follows. Not doing this will give you count 1 for each field value (since it is looking for unique counts) when you populate the table. Noteworthy part is setting the Top field to 0. Because Kibana won't let you enter anything else than a digit (Obviously!). This was the tricky part. Hit Apply and you'll get the results. Unique field values and the count of each of them.
3. Verification:
Going to the last page of the table, we see there are exactly 543 results. This is how I know it works.
What Next?
You save this visualization and add it to a Dashboard. There you can always check the request, query, response and other stats.
Just an addition to the above mathakoot answer.
For the user of newer version (which do not allow bucket size of 0 anymore) just set a value greater than the maximum number of result
And report the value in the Options>Per Page field
I am using Kibana 6 so the UI looks a bit different than the older answers here.
Here is what worked for me
Create a visualization from your query, I used a line graph type (don't think it matters)
Under Data, set metrics aggregation = "Unique Count" and set field to your field.
Set x-axis aggregation = "Terms" and set field to your field.
Set Size > your number of records
Under Metrics and Axes, disable drawing of the graph, circles, and labels (this really helps the UI not lag)
Run query and then click "Inspect" and download CSV
Data
Metrics & Axes
I wanted to achieve something similar but I'm stuck with Kibana 3.1.
I simply added a panel of type "TERMS" and configured its Field = User-agent and left everything else on default values. This gave me a nice bar chart with one bar for each User-agent.
I am new to this forum so I hope I asking my question in the right place.
I have a problem inserting a datetime into a Google Spreadsheet from a form created in Appinventor2;
In app inventor2 I created a form that fills in a google spreadsheet. Basically I merged the Pizza Party example (http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/pizzaparty.html) with this example http://puravidaapps.com/spreadsheet.php to use google spreadsheet instead of fusion table.
the user selects in how many minutes he wants his order and then sees all the orders in a table sorted by delivery time.
Problem A)
Firstly, i want to save the current datetime + the desired delay into the google spreadsheet and sort the table by this new datetime.
1) when i use the block "call clock format time" + "call clock addminutes" the spreadsheet is populated with a text, but then i can't sort the table by delivery datetime. in fact i believe the sorting is done on the number regardless of the am/pm or day of the month. so for example instead of having 4am, 6am, 2pm, 3pm i get : 2pm, 3pm, 4am, 6am.
2) I then tried to remove the block "call clock format time" and in the google form i kept the field format = text
but the google spreadsheet is populated with the following:
java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1395531335908,areFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=Europe/Dublin,firstDayOfWeek=2,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=4,ERA=1,YEAR=2014,MONTH=2,WEEK_OF_YEAR=12,WEEK_OF_MONTH=4,DAY_OF_MONTH=22,DAY_OF_YEAR=81,DAY_OF_WEEK=7,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=4,AM_PM=1,HOUR=11,HOUR_OF_DAY=23,MINUTE=35,SECOND=35,MILLISECOND=908,ZONE_OFFSET=0,DST_OFFSET=0]
3) I then tried to remove the block "call clock format time" and in the google form I changed the field format = time
but then the google spreadsheet isn't populated with anything.
4)I tried using the segment block, but after a while I realised the block "format time" actually returns this format: "hh:mm:ss AM/PM"
so selecting the 5 characters is not good enough because it does not take into account of the am/pm element as well as the day of the month.
5) I found a temp solution by defining the desired delivery time as a new global variable, and extracting a string in the format hh:mm by joining the blocks ".hour instant" and ".minute instant".
However this is not a final solution because what i extracted is of course a string of text and when sorting, 01:10 will be always considered smaller than 23:50 for example, regardless of the date.
So is there a way of actually saving in the google spreadsheet not a string of text, but actually the date and time?
Problem B)
Secondly, I would like to filter/show only the rows of the google spreadsheet have a delivery time expired by no more than 1 hour (as well as orders with delivery time in the future e.g. in 2 hours from now()).
I tried using some Google Visualization API Query Language commands, altering the url of the google spreadsheet (like WHERE "now() - Delivery Time < 60 mins)" (cannot remember the exact code I wrote) but unsucessfully.
Would anyone know how to filter my results?
thanks in advance

So there's a few things to note.
If you're using Taifun's example as you mention, you'll notice that when you submit data to Google Spreadsheets using a form, the first column is always a timestamp, even if you're not submitting a date or time. Trying to send the current date/time is redundant - go ahead and make use of what Google provided.
Google Spreadsheets (and Excel) store Date/Time as a number. If you want to store a date in GS, the best way to do so is not formatted text, but by sending a number. Use AppInventor to calculate the number you need. For example, today (April 27) in GS is 41756. Noon today would be 41756.5
To generate this number, start with AI's Millisecond function. NOTE: Both GS and AI use milliseconds, but they have different 0 points, so you have to manipulate the result a bit. The formula I've used in AI in the past is this:
GS Date/Time = (Clock1.GetMillis(Clock1.Now) / 86400000) + 25569
Hope this helps!
I need to add a 'StartDate' parameter to a report in Reporting Services 2005, which should represent the current date, at midnight.
If I use Now() as expression, it will correctly use midnight in the calculations, but to the user, the time part will not be shown.
13/12/2011
which can be confusing because then the user doesn't really realise he or she can type in a time part.
How can I format this date to the following:
13/12/2011 00:00
while keeping the parameter as a DateTime datatype.?
Edit: I've checked the duplicate question and tried to apply it to my case, but run into the following phenomenom:
If I try:
=DateTime.Parse(Format(Now().Date().AddSeconds(1), "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"))
Then the parameter shows "14/12/2011 00:00:01" which is confusing for the users, so I then tried the following:
=DateTime.Parse(Format(Now().Date().AddSeconds(1), "d/M/yyyy HH:mm"))
But then the parameter shows "14/12/2011" again! In other words, the time part is gone again!
Who invented this stuff? :P
Your formula with .Parse(Format(... causes redundant work that is messing things up. Try this:
=Now().Date().AddSeconds(.001)
Use Format. For example: Format(Parameters!SelectedDate.Value, "d/M/yyyy HH:mm")
Here is a list of DateTime identifiers for use with Format.
Edit:
I get it now, you want 00:00 to show up in the parameter input calendar in the report viewer. The time part won't show up when it's set to midnight. This is by design. If you're using 2005 or earlier, Jamie's solution won't work and you're stuck.
Long time reader etc,
I've a TFS report that I want to alter the sorting on by date. The problem is the sort only seems to consider the day element and the rest isn't considered. For example, the following is happening:
1/7/2011
1/7/2011
1/7/2011
2/12/2010
3/03/2011
3/03/2011
I've looked for a way to specify the datatype on the box in the table but to no avail. Any suggestions?
I've realised the field was being treated as text as the date in question isn't guaranteed to be there and replaced with an empty string if it wasn't.
Two steps have fixed the problem:
Added calculated field to dataset and wrapped an iif around to deal with missing dates as being way off in the future.
=CDate(IIf(IsDate(Fields!My_Date.Value), Fields!My_Date.Value, DateAdd(DateInterval.Year, 10,Now)))
This then forces the field to be treated as a date. I then added a sort on the group on this calculated field which isn't shown in the report and gives the impression that those items with a date get ordered and the rest are left to the other layers of sorting which is correct.
Is there a better way of doing this?
I find it a very efficient way!
I did it myself more complex
Group properties of the field you want to sort on
Sorting
expression:
=Datepart("yyyy",Fields!Datum.Value) & Datepart("m",Fields!Datum.Value) & Datepart("d",Fields!Datum.Value)
It will sort first on year, then on month, then on day
I have a report where it shows meetings and their requirements. However i just want the report to show ONLY today's stuff--not the entire week's worth.
I tried setting my group header (i'm grouping by day) to currentdate but yet it still shows me the entire week. I then have to go to the grouping tree and select today's date. Is there any way to run my report and have it ONLY show today's stuff and nothing else???
Any ideas?
Use the select expert to limit the results to today's date. printdate is a special Crystal Formula keyword.
{table.date_field} = printdate
Or, if you're working with a datetime db field you can strip the time with CDate
CDate({table.date_field}) = printdate
One way would be to change your query so that it's only getting one day's worth of data; that is, assuming your data contains a date field. To take it a step further, you could add date parameters to the query itself and leave the group headers as is. That way, you can have one day of data, or data from a specific date range.
If you have no influence (or desire) to change the way data comes into Crystal Reports, you could also add a formula via the Section Expert to suppress the group or detail section unless the date is the current date.
