How To Convert Datetime Field To A Date Field So Excel Recognize It As Data Type

May 17, 2015

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .

How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?

I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)

**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error

Oct 17, 2007



I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part

I tried a couple of things:

Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.

Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.

What options do I have that will work?

I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.

I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable

mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))

option 1

With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc

How Do I Convert A Unix Date/Time Field To A Date When The The SQL DB Stores That Data As Char 11?

Nov 13, 2007

Hi there.
I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).

I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.

The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE')
Can anyone out there help?

Please advise. Thanks.

Best.

Convert DateTime Field

Sep 20, 2006

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct forum for this question but it relates to my SSIS package.

I am currently implementing an SSIS package to replace an existing stored procedure which is getting very unmanageable. I have come across a part in the stored procedure which performs a convert(datetime, @Parameter3, 14) on a string of data. The string value of @Parameter3 is in the following format HH:mm:ss.

The problem i am having is how to implement similar functionality in a script task. everything i have tried involving the datetime object returns 1,1,0001, 00:00:00 or similar. It never seems to get the time so that it can be passed to a datetime field in the database.

Thanks in advance for any help that is provided.

Convert With Character Field And Datetime

Jan 29, 2007

Hi,

I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).

An example of the data is as follows:

2005-09-20121315001

it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.

I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon

i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format

2005-09-20 13:15:18.001

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM

Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,

Thanks in advance

SQL Field Convert Nvarchar To Datetime

Dec 4, 2007

Hi everyone.

So as the subject says, I have a few fields that are nvarchar but hold date information. Most of these fields I have been able to move to datetime easiliy enough, simply by going into edit mode for the table and converting the fields to datetime. But 1 field is giving me problems I keep getting this error.
quote:- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.

I really dont know why I'm getting this error, but I"m assuming it may have to be something like one of the records may not be in date format. But I don't know if this is the case and I don't know how to locate where my problem is coming from.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

SQL Datetime Field Type Command Help??

Jan 15, 2008

I am new to asp.net, C#, and sql server, coming from php and ODBC/Access background (trying to leave all that behind) Anyway, I have a textbox that will be used to INSERT a date into a SQL datetime field. The date coming from the textbox will be formatted like "MM/dd/yyyy". For my purposes the day, month, and year are all that I require, the time is irrelevant. Then from a different page in the site I will be using a variable containing the current date derived from "DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")" to select records with a matching date. Is there anyone that has an example showing both inserting into a datetime field and extracting records based off the date format that I have specified? Would it be better to use a different format? In the past I have stored dates as a julian in an int field type but I would rather learn to use the datetime field type in sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With Openrowset, How To Avoid A Field Being Treated As Datetime Type?

Nov 6, 2007



I add a schema.ini to tell openrowset to read a tab-delimited file. Which works fine

[members.txt]
ColNameHeader=True
Format=TabDelimited

but in the file, there is a membership# field, it has format like ??-??-????, for some reason, openrowset insist to parse it into a datetime datatype, not sure how it does it, since even I change that data in the first row to any string, it still tries to parse that data in other row, and it ends up with error since most of those data is not in datetime range.

Any suggestion?

Date From Datetime Field

Mar 11, 2004

Hi

What is the best practice to get the date from a smalldatetime field without the time.

The table contains 5 minute readings for energy consumption in the column period.

Now i need to get all the readings form some dates.

SELECT dbo.TBL_Data.*
FROM dbo.TBL_Data
WHERE (Period IN (CONVERT(DATETIME, '2003-12-31', 102), CONVERT(DATETIME, '2004-01-01', 102)))


this result contains only the readings for the timestamp 00:00

so how to select the whole day ?

kind regards

Getting Just The Date Or From DateTime Field

Sep 2, 2004

Hi,
I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.

any help will be appreciated.

thanx,

Get Date Only From Datetime Field!

OK, I know this is really simple but I can't get my statement to pull just the date from a datetime field!

Here's my query:

where date between convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate())+1,getdate()),103)
and convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate()),dateadd(month,1,getdate())),103)

I get no errors but I get the timestamp too and I only want the date.

Where am I going wrong?!

Select Only Date From Datetime Field

Mar 10, 2004

I know there must be a way to do this....

I want to select only the date portion of a datetime field. the date normally shows as similar to '2004-01-01 09:39:52.000'

I need to return just '2004-01-01'. using convert and cast returns the dates as 'JAN 01 2004' - this won't sort correctly, so it is of no use. any suggestions?

thanks,

instead if the server is in italian version, I have to insert date with this code:

Is there a way to insert a date in standard way, without knowing the server version?

Querying DateTime Field And Summarize Just Using Date

May 9, 2012

I have 2 tables that I would like to summarize a couple of columns for a full day of production(12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM) based on passed variables. Here are my Tables:

Order_Details_tbl
PlantID – IngredientID – AmountBatched – DateTime
1 – 8 – 1000 – 4/30/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 4/30/2012 4:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/1/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/1/2012 10:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 4500 – 5/3/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 11000 – 5/7/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/7/2012 10:23:12 AM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/7/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/7/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 9:23:12 AM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 4:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 2:23:12 PM

Order_Details_Details_tbl
PlantID – IngredientID – AmountBatched – DateTime
1 – 8 – 100 – 4/30/2012 1:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 11000 – 5/4/2012 11:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 11000 – 5/7/2012 11:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 11:23:12 AM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 1:23:12 AM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 11:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 5:23:12 PM
1 – 8 – 1000 – 5/8/2012 2:23:12 PM

I will pass in the @PlantID int, @IngredientID int, and @Days int. I want to sum the AmountBatched from both tables and display the total for each given day. The @Days will indicate the number of days to query off of previous to the current date. I would also like to eliminate weekends from the results. For example when stored procedure is run passing the following values @PlantID = 1, @IngredientID = 8, and @Days = 14. If date procedure is run is 5/9/2012, would like to summarize for 4/25/2012 to 5/8/2012 excluding weekends if possible.

Results
Date – AmountBatched
4/25/2012 – 0
4/26/2012 – 0
4/27/2012 -- 0
4/30/2012 -- 2100
5/1/2012 -- 2000
5/2/2012 -- 0
5/3/2012 -- 4500
5/4/2012 -- 11000
5/7/2012 -- 25000
5/8/2012 – 8000

Notice 4/28, 4/29, 5/5, and 5/6 are eliminated from the results, which are weekends. Is this possible in a sql stored procedure? I am writing an app in vb .net and am hoping to get the results I need in a single call to sql server and not have to make several calls back. I have not worked with advanced datetime methods in sql server before.

Date Poition Comparison Of A Datetime Field

Jul 23, 2005

I have a datetime variable coming from my ASP.NET application that hasa time portion. I give my users the option to perform an equals,greater than, less than, or between comparison. The trouble comes inthe way the application builds the criteria string. The WHERE clausepassed in is in the format, "(start_dt = '2005/05/16 07:00:00.000')".What I want to do is only compare the date portion of start_dt to thedate portion of the passed in time. Manipulating the start_dt with thebuilt-in SQL functions isn't a problem, but altering the date passed infrom the ASP.NET would be a massive framework change in the app.Is there any way to only compare the date portions of both the SQLfield and the passed in value?Thanks.
