I'm trying to select a date within a date picker but I don't know which method to use to make the date picker appear and then select the right date (not unavailable). Dates (number of the day) are changing every month.
#Morgan yes you can send date value in the date picker
In my case I have to datepicker start date and end date
When I send the date in the start date it actually appends to
The current date which by default appears in the box
When I send the date in the end date box it actually accept
That date and save as well

I have a SSRS report which is executed and delivered daily to emails. The report calculates some numbers for the 1st date of the month to the (d-1)th date (d being the day when it is executed). So the default parameter values in this report are :
Start_date :=DateSerial(Year(Date.Now), Month(Date.Now), 1)
End_date :=DateAdd("d",-1,Today())
The problem is on 1st of every new month , the start date evaluates to 1st of new month and the end date becomes the last date of previous month. This makes the report non-sensical on 1st of every month.
What should we do to avoid this and force the expression to evaluate 1st of the new month as start and end date ?
For the End Date, perhaps check if it's the 1st of the month and then default to the current date (i.e. the 1st) if it is:
=Iif(
Day(DateTime.Today) = 1,
DateTime.Today,
DateAdd("d",-1,DateTime.Today)
)
But I'm assuming there is a reason your are using today-1 as the end date, so this could mean your report shows nothing for the 1st day of the month...
I have created one report where i want to pull the records from specified date range
I have two parameters i.e. StartDate and EndDate. Both are date/time data type.
What I want to do is set the default date for the StartDate parameter as +7 days from today's date, and have the EndDate as +7 days from the StartDate?
Basically the reports need to show everything for the following week
E.g. If the report is created today (Monday 22nd Sept); it would show data between Monday 29th to Sunday 5th.
Please let me know how I would specify this as an expression under the parameters, or could this be done within the DataSet?
Put the StartDate Parameter's default value as =now.AddDays(7)
And EndDate Parameter's default value =Cdate(Parameters!StartDate.value).AddDays(7)
I have an SSRS report with two parameters that are datetimes. Of course the date selector doesn't allow you to select times to go with the dateTIME, that would make too much sense. So my idea was to give the datetime parameters a default time. For example, if I wanted the default value of a parameter to be today's date at 8:30 AM, how would I do that?
So if today was 9/4/2013 I want to see exactly this: 09/04/2013 8:30 AM.
I have tried all kinds of formatting. The closest I got was doing this:
=CDate(Format(Today(), "MM/dd/yyyy") & " 8:30 AM")
But I have never been able to get the seconds to not show up because you always have to convert this back to a datetime from a string, otherwise you get an invalid type error, and CDdate ALWAYS displays the seconds.
It seems like you're trying to format the date directly in the parameter's default value, is that correct? The thing is, CDate() converts a string into a DateTime; and DateTime objects do have seconds. If you don't want to display those seconds in your report, you should convert the date into a formatted string, such as:
=Format(Parameters!yourParameter.Value, "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm")
In order to set a default time to your date parameter, you could also use something like this in the parameter default value:
Today().AddHours(8).AddMinutes(30)
I tried everything I could find on SO to format these dates but couldn't get it to drop the zero's in the parameter as a date field or just appear blank. I was using SSRS 2005 so was struggling with its clunky / buggy issues.
My workaround was to add a column to my custom [DimDate] table in my database to pull dates. I added a column that was simply a string representation of the [date] column. I then created 2 new Datasets that pulled in the following queries for 2 defaults for my 'To' & 'From' date defaults -
'from'
SELECT Datestring FROM dbo.dimDate WHERE [date] =
(SELECT max(date) FROM dimdate WHERE date <= GETDATE() )
'to'
SELECT Datestring FROM dbo.dimDate WHERE [date] =
(SELECT max(date) FROM dimdate WHERE date < DATEADD(month,-3,GETDATE()))
Use this =DateAdd("s",-1,DateAdd("d",1,Parameters!dateTo.Value)) works for me adjust your time by changing to hours.
I've got two columns (both datetime) startDate and endDate in an events table.
I am retrieving the current day using the the date() function of php.
This results in for example 2013-03-12.
Now there are three possibilities of events combined with dates that occur today:
An event starts and also end on this day
An event has started earlier and ends today
An event starts today but ends in the future (>= 2013-03-13)
Now I'd like to break these all into separate queries as I'm not used to work with dates. I started with the first query, but I am already failing on that one. I've tried the following:
SELECT * FROM events WHERE (startDate= '2013-03-12' AND endDate= '2013-03-12')
aswell as:
SELECT * FROM events WHERE NOT (startDate < '2013-03-12' OR endDate > '2013-03-12')
I've tried to use DATE() aswell and to format dates like '2013-03-12%'.
I don't know why it doesn't work while i am sure there is at least 1 event that is taking place on the 12th. Any help is appreciated.
Try using the MySQL's DATE() function to trim the date columns to the just the date parts:
SELECT *
FROM events
WHERE (DATE(startDate) = '2013-03-12' AND DATE(endDate)= '2013-03-12')
You can use the DATE() function as other answers suggested, but I think this makes it hard to use an index on the columns. Instead, you can include times in your comparisons:
SELECT *
FROM events
WHERE startDate BETWEEN '2013-03-12 00:00:00' AND '2013-03-12 23:59:59'
AND endDate BETWEEN '2013-03-12 00:00:00' AND '2013-03-12 23:59:59'
The DATETIME datatype in MySQL considers the time of the day as well, so, it will not match anything.
If you don't have any use of the time part, then you can simply reduce the datatype to DATE instead of DATETIME. If not, you can use the DATE() function to get rid of the time part and only consider the date part
NOTE THIS WHEN USING between on Mysql
date_column_name between 'startDate' AND 'endDate'
NOTE : you should want to insert +1 date to endDate . Because of when you insert 2015-05-18 date to endDate.you can not get data of 2015-05-18.So you need to plus one date to endDate.
Is it possible to have a date in a field in a db called entry date, and a field called finish date, the entry date will be pre populated but i want the finish date to be 21 days later, is there a method to be able to do this?
Thanks
You appear to be using Microsoft Access. The finish date field (column) can be updated in the After Update event of a start date control on a form, or you can create a query that updates the field, or since Access 2010, you can use a data macro. However, if the date is always 21 days in advance of the start date, do you need a field (column) at all? A query will allow you to show the end date easily enough:
SELECT StartDate, StartDate + 21 As EndDate
FROM MyTable
In opposite of Excel that directly you can add to date There is Function to add day or month or year to Date in Access.
Exmaples:
DateAdd('d', 130 , Date)
DateAdd('d', 430 , FirstDate) //add month and year by calculating extra days
DateAdd('m',3 , Date)
DateAdd('y', 2 , Date)
