Custom Expression Function: ParseDateTime - datetime

Given a DateTime of
10-OCT-2015 07:10 PM
How can one convert this? I've got the first part correct but it's the Time I'm having difficulty with.
ParseDateTime([column name],"dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm")
How can AM/PM be represented?

Figured it out!
ParseDateTime([Diary Date],"dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm tt","en-US")

Format hours, minutes and seconds with moment.js

I get this value from my backend service: 171054. It represents hh:mm:ss. But when I use the formatting options from the docs it gives me back 00:00:00.
Things I've tried:
moment('171054').format('hh-mm-ss')
moment('171054').format('HH-mm-ss')
moment('171054').format('HH-MM-SS')
You are confusing format option with parsing option. Since your input string is not in ISO 8601 format, you have to specify format when parsing.
Here a working example for your use case:
var mom = moment('171054', 'HHmmss');
console.log(mom.format());
console.log(mom.format('HH:mm:ss'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.1/moment.min.js"></script>
I am not sure if momentjs can read that as date since there is no identifier. I would suggest changing the value for example you have 171054, get each 2 digits since you sure that this is represent as hh:mm:ss then add identifier between then like ":" or "-" then try us momentjs formatting again.

ASP.NET "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

First off, I realize there's a million pages discussing this already. I have looked at least a hundred of them but cannot seem to make this work. My date and time is presented as a string, compiled from javascript to grab client's local time. It is formatted like this: 7/11/2015 8:34 PM.
I currently have:
Dim datetimeformated = DateTime.ParseExact(lblDateTime.Text, "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
I have tried many different variants, but this should be correct I think, yet it does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA
The correct format for your case is: M/dd/yyyy h:mm tt, and perhaps even, M/d/yyyy h:mm tt, if you can have the day of the month as a single digit.
Explanation: Why your format string didn't work.
MM: means that you must always have 2 digits for the month, clearly not the case in your example.
dd: again, means that you must always have 2 digits for the day of the month. Is that the case? Adjust the parameter if needed.
HH: This actually means that you are expecting the hour value as 2-digits using the 24-hour clock (00-23), which is clearly wrong on both accounts. You can have a single digit, and you are not using the 24-hour clock, because you are using the AM/PM designator.

Format Datetime in Business Objects

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.

How to show date and time in one label?

How to show date and time in one label?
lbldatetime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");
I want it in 05-10-2013 9:47am format.
Use "tt" for the AM/PM designator:
lbldatetime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy h:mmtt");
See here for the complete reference.
You can format the date and time with the ToString() Method:
lbldatetime.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy h:mmtt");
You can do that by using format provider to convert date time value in particular format

C# format of date issue

My problem: I need to get date format as "mm/dd/yyyy"
Scenario:
I have declared DateBirth as nullable DateTime.
The value I get when I use:
AdvancedObj.DateBirth .Value.ToString()
is: "13/03/2013 00:00:00"
The value I get when I use
AdvancedObj.DateBirth .Value.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
is :"03/13/2013 00:00:00"//This is roughly correct but, I do not need 00:00:00
I have tried this as well, but the format is correct and value is incorrect.
AdvancedObj.DateBirth.Value.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy",CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-Us"))
**"13/00/2013"**
Can anybody point me, what am I missing?
Use the right format string for months - it is MM. mm is for minutes:
AdvancedObj.DateBirth.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
Also, order them correctly as above - if you want months before days, use MM/dd/yyyy, if the other way around, dd/MM/yyyy.
I suggest you take a good long read of Custom Date and Time Format Strings on MSDN.
Month are 'M'. 'm' is for minutes.
"dd/MM/yyyy"
