I am trying to change my date format from mmddyy to mmddyyyy in the table. I have tried changing the format in the table to format mmddyyyy but it does not seem to work. Maybe creating an update query to change the date from 100411 to 10042011.
Not so long ago, I saw somewhere a solution how to check if string is date in yyyyMMdd format (i.e. if it can be converted to date if written in such format). I can't find it anymore but I think is had something to do with DateTime.TryParse method but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work if string is in dd/MM/yyyy format, but dont' know how to make it with yyyyMMdd format. If I'm not mistaken neither of DateTime.TryParse method parameters is for assigning date format...
rs2.Fields("Field29").Value has values like "YYYYMMDD" in a string.how can i convert a "YYYYMMDD" string to a needed date format like 'dd mmm yy' (or any format)
The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.
Public Sub Main() Dim R1, O1, P1, C1, strDateFrom, strDateTo, strRunDate As String
Why doesn't CDate(integer) work where integer has format of YYYYMMDD ?and why won't this stupid site let me submit such a short question when I have nothing else to add except some waffle at the end
So would it be possible that the problem comes from of the "time bit" : "00:00:00"?if, so is it the parsetime function which would allow to take into account only the time bit value of the combobox?
With XP set to a language such as Spanish (Spain), the VBA-in-Excel function "Excel.Version" returns the text string "11.0" (not "11,1"). It does not respect the language setting.
"CLng(Excel.Version)" then produces the value "110" (wrong!), perhaps because CLng respects the language setting and is looking for a comma instead of a period.
The work-around is easy. But I need to know if switching to another language requires a setting that my client in Spain missed, or is this just a bug.
If it is a bug, is the problem limited to this one function (Excel.Version), or are there other functions that return values in text format that are affected?
How do I change a date such as "2/9/2011" to "20110902" [ie] yyyymmdd ? At first I thought I could use the substring function but I don't know how to insert the leading zero for month or day when it is necessary.Joe MIller
I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.
I have a dataset containing a datatable, and I enumerate all rows in that datatable. When trying to format a column in that row, I run into an exception. (Part of) the code is:
For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables("records").Rows file = dr("timestamp").ToString("yyyyMMdd") & "~.wav" Next
This results in the following error message:
Conversion from string yyyyMMdd to type Integer is not valid. (translated from a Dutch error message to the English equivalent)
dr("timestamp").GetType.FullName results in "System.DateTime", so I don't understand why I run into this exception, as for example Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") results in "20091002", and "Now" is of the same type as dr("timestamp"), "System.DateTime" that is.
I have a data which is 06/03/2010 03:05:22 PM from foxpro database which I need to transfer to mysql database but I think mysql datetime only accept YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS <am I correct?> I am prompted with an error 'Incorrect datetime value: '06/03/2010 03:05:22 PM' for column 'date_update' at row 1'. My question is how can I change the format so I can resolve that error. I'm using vb.net 201...
I have the following code. When I use: For i = 3 To MaxColumnDataGridView DataGridView.Columns(i).DefaultCellStyle.NullValue = 0 DataGridView.Columns(i).DefaultCellStyle.Format = "N5" Next The columns format can't be changed. I cannot change the number format whatever I do.
I want to convert =now date value and i want to change that to the day of the week (eg. Friday). I need to do this to compare it with which day it is today.
I have a label that displays information from my database and I need to format it. It displays a number format like so: (53389) and I just need it to display (53,389)it uses the SQL to COUNT or SUM the data from the datasource. is there a way to have it format like I want when it is displayed, or do I need to change the data format in the database?
