SCinitiationtarget.selectedDate = new
Date(rows1[i]['InitiationTarget']);
I am setting my seletedDate in my DateChooser like this. The format i am getting from the Database is 2009-12-30.
Its displaying in correctly.
I believe the date object doesn't recognize the dash as a valid separator. You'll have to some how reformat your date objects.
For example this works:
var date:Date = new Date("2009/12/30");
myDateChooser.selectedDate = date;
But this doesn't:
var date:Date = new Date("2009-12-30");
myDateChooser.selectedDate = date;
For more information on what date formats are valid, see the documentation here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/Date.html#Date%28%29
The first argument of Date constructor is called yearOrTimeValue and as its documentation says it accepts either year or time in UTC milliseconds. For proper Date construction use:
new Date(2009, 12, 30)
I got the solution finally.
var dateStr:String = dateFormatter.format(rows1[i]['InitiationTarget']);
SCinitiationtarget.selectedDate = new Date(dateStr);
<mx:DateFormatter id="dateFormatter" formatString="MMM D, YYYY"/>
With this the problem gets solved.
Why not use the parse method of the Date class?
SCinitiationtarget.selectedDate = Date.parse(rows1[i]['InitiationTarget']);

I want to store a Javascript Date() object in a spreadsheet with correct format according to spreadsheet's locale (SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSpreadsheetLocale()).
Is there a way to get the country specific (date and) time format string from the spreadsheet locale?
E.g. when locale is de_DE, time format string as hh:mm
but when locale is da_DK, time format string as hh.mm
Interesting as well how to get the countries currency format.
BTW when I have date and time in de_DE and than change to da_DK, dates are reformatted (23.01.2020 -> 23/01/2020) but times are not (it stays as 22:59). Is that an error in Spreadsheet?
Dates in JavaScript have the method toLocaleDateString, which return a string formatted according to the specified locale. But this doesn't seem to work in Apps Script.
If you're open to using an Apps Script Web App for this, you could use this toLocaleDateString in your client-side script (that is, in a script tag in your HTML).
If that's not the case, I think your best option would be to create the relationship between formats and locales yourself, because Apps Script doesn't have a built-in method to achieve that. You could, for example, use a switch statement that would check the locale, and then format the date accordingly with Utilities.formatDate, the tool Apps Script uses to format dates. It could be something along the following lines:
var locale = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSpreadsheetLocale();
var formattedDate;
switch (locale) {
case 'de_DE':
formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(yourDate, yourTimeZone, "hh:mm");
break;
case 'da_DK':
formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(yourDate, yourTimeZone, "hh.mm");
break;
// ...
}
return formattedDate;
Reference:
toLocateDateString
Apps Script Web Apps
Utilities.formatDate
I hope this is of any help.
Sorry for that, however I found a function that would be worth checking out, it's toLocaleDateString() and toLocaleTimeString (), they deliver the local date and time format.
Please check
Formato fechas JavaScript.
I did the test from Google Apps Script and it throws me the following
function pruebafecha() {
var d = new Date();
var n = d.toLocaleDateString();
var h = d.toLocaleTimeString();
Logger.log(n);
Logger.log(h);
}
This is the answer(Colombia):
[20-01-24 16:47:50:286 EST] 24 de enero de 2020
[20-01-24 16:47:50:287 EST] 16:47:50 EST
A JavaScript Date object includes date, time and timezone. When Google Apps Script pass a Date object to the spreadsheet using setValue() / setValues() the value is displayed according to the cell number formatting using the spreadsheet timezone.
If the cell formatting is set to Automatic by default the date will be displayed accordingly to the spreadsheet locale.
If you want to force the cell to display a date in an specific format use Class Range setNumberFormat / setNumberFormats
If you don't want to use the above methods and don't want to rely on the spreadsheet locale and automatic cell format then instead of passing a Date object pass the value as an string prepending it with an ' (apostrophe, single quote character) to prevent that that automatic data type parsing changes the value and it's format.

Javascript in Google Sheets script: help using setNumberFormat
I don't know very well the configuration of the sheet you mention. However, I share a code that I use to print the date and time of data submission of a form.
var d = new Date();
var hour = d.getHours()-1;
var min = d.getMinutes();
var day = d.getDate();
var month = d.getMonth()+1;
var year = d.getFullYear();
if (month<10) {dia = day+"/"+"0"+month+"/"+year;}
else {dia = day+"/"+month+"/"+year;}
if (min<10){time = hour+":"+"0"+min;}
else {time = hour+":"+min;}
What I do in the code is to take the values of day, month and year, I add 1 to the value of month because it takes values [0:11] => [Jan, Dec].
Then I build the format I want from date and time, you can notice that I have 1 left to the hours, because when I did the tests I noticed that the time of the script was one hour above.
I use google translate, I hope it is understood.
I'm going loopy....
I want a date, in date format, for example
21/06/2017 17:23:04 GDT
I stamp this on a document, but I then want to display it on my xpage as:
21/06/2017 17:23
But I keep getting different results no matter what I do. I get the date from the onClick of a button using
var dt = new Date();
I then pass this into a function:
function AddObjectivesHistoryItem(doc, dt, action, username){
var ArrDocHistory:array = doc.getItemValueArray("History");
if(ArrDocHistory.length < 1){
// This should always return an object as it is created when an objectives document is first
// created but do this check to be safe and create an array if for some reason it doesnt exist
ArrDocHistory = [dt+"|"+action+"|"+username];
}else{
// append new value to the array
ArrDocHistory.push(dt+"|"+action+"|"+username);
}
doc.replaceItemValue("History",ArrDocHistory);
doc.replaceItemValue("LastUpdatedByName",username);
doc.replaceItemValue("LastUpdatedDate",dt);
}
I've tried using toLocaleString() and all others it seems but it wont work.
For example, toLocaleString() displays as 13-Mar-2018 15:02:15 on my xpage. It's close to what I want except it uses hyphens instead of slashes, and also displays the seconds.
I've tried using custom date pattern on my date field properties with no luck and I'm certain I'm missing something super obvious!?
Any pointers on how to firstly get the date like 21/06/2017 17:23:04 GDT and store as a date and secondly to then display it as 21/06/2017 17:23, this can be a string if it needs to be.
Thanks
You can get your date value as String in SSJS with:
var dateTimeFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy kk:mm");
var dateTimeString = dateTimeFormat.format(dt)));
If you want to store as text, java.text.SimpleDateFormat is best for converting a date server-side to a specific text format. It can also be used in a converter to manipulate to/from as well.
I am passing date to query in breeze as below
Predicate.create('approvedOn', op.GreaterThanOrEqual, "01.05.1985");
But i get invalid date error. How to pass date to breeze query?
Update1
I also tried passing date by converting it to ISO 8601 format but still get error
You need to use a javascript date object in your query.
var aDate = new Date(1985, 5, 1, 0, 0, 0)
Predicate.create('approvedOn', op.GreaterThanOrEqual, aDate);
Do you try to convert it to other formats?
I worked with some projects that use query with date like this:
var time = new Date($.now());
var pre = new breeze.Predicate.create("DatePost", ">=", time);
It works fine. You should try with other date format, if get errors, post them here.
I was wondering if there is a function/method to get next and previous date of a selected day
something like getpreviousday hh or something?
all I could find is function that people created themselves, I thought maybe there is already a built-in function.
Use this ActionScript DateUtils library.
There is a DateAdd method you can use:
var currentDate : Date = new Date();
var nextDate : Date = DateUtils.dateAdd('date',1,currentDate);
var previousDate : Date = DateUtils.dateAdd('date',-1,currentDate);
You can use the DateUtil from here: DateUtils at code.google.com
Further www.flextras.com mentioned the link for ActionScript Dateutils.

foreach (var item in elements)//send this error
{}
System.FormatException: The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a
unknown word starting at index 0.
why error?
Try to change it as follows:
var elements = from element in doc.Descendants("CalendarFair")
let start = element.Element("DateStart").Value
where DateTime.Parse (start)==DateTime.Now.Date
select new
{
dateStart = start,
dateEnd=element.Element("DateEnd").Value,
title=element.Element("Title").Value,
idExcutive = element.Element("IdExecutive").Value ,
};
EDIT: based on the XML you have posted the query above works pretty well. Try to test it with this input:
<CalendarFairs>
<CalendarFair>
<DateStart>2011-04-05T00:00:00</DateStart>
<DateEnd>2011-04-09T00:00:00</DateEnd>
<Title>aaaa</Title>
<IdExecutive>1</IdExecutive>
</CalendarFair>
<CalendarFair>
<DateStart>2011-03-20T00:00:00</DateStart>
<DateEnd>2011-04-19T00:00:00</DateEnd>
<Title>bbb</Title>
<IdExecutive>2</IdExecutive>
</CalendarFair>
</CalendarFairs>
Note that I have inserted today's start date. Actually I think the result was empty just because there weren't entries with actual date.
It sounds like one or more of your input <DateStart> strings is not in a valid DateTime format.
Can you post some sample input XML?
It may be that you need to provide the date format using ParseExact - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w2sa9yss.aspx
