I am a newbie to crystal reports, I have a crystal report for which I have a data source from which I am using some fields on to the report.
Crsytal Report Name : InventoryReport
Data Source : I am giving Stored Procedure -- GetInventoryData
Fields : ItemID, ShippedDate, ItemName
I have to get all items which are shipped in between FromData and ToDate of ShippedDate, so I am using formula {GetInventoryData;1.ShippedDate} in {?FromDate} to {?ToDate}
dataType of Shipped Date is String and I have to convert to Date as it needs to be compared but I am having issues in that...
ShippedDate value will be : 2011-04-19 16:02:14.0000000
I have to convert at crystal reports side only..
Please help me how can I cast it to date
actually even better don't use that formula .... in selection formula using the date range explained above
date(split({GetInventoryData;1.ShippedDate}," ")[1]) in {?daterange}
If you are using string, you may do a simple less-than or greater than like:
...where ShippedDate >= '2011-04-19 00:00:00' and ShippedDate <= '2011-04-19 23:59:59'
this is like:
...where ShippedDate >= '<from-date> 00:00:00' and ShippedDate <= '<to-date> 23:59:59'
This would work and you'll not have to cast to a date.
You may also use as (If it works for you):
...where ShippedDate >= '<from-date>' and ShippedDate <= '<to-date>'
one way ... create a formula called cvtDate
date(
tonumber(split({GetInventoryData;1.ShippedDate},"-")[1])
,
tonumber(split({GetInventoryData;1.ShippedDate},"-")[2])
,
tonumber(split({GetInventoryData;1.ShippedDate},"-")[3])
)
then instead of creating two date parameters.. create only one called daterange that allows range values under values options
Then selection formula would be
{#cvtDate} in {?daterange}

I have stored this kind of format 2022-02-06 18:40:00 in my trans_reminder_date. I want to use only date in where condition but with this condition i am not able to fetch data
$today = date('Y-m-d');
SELECT * FROM sales_detail
WHERE trans_reminder_date = '".$today."'
AND trans_reminder_date != ''
ORDER BY sales_detail_id DESC";
If when your filter parameter is a string:
select * from sales_detail
where cast(trans_reminder_date as date) = cast('2020-03-22' as date)
if you want to use the current date for filtering then MySQL has a function that getting only the current date without time.
select * from sales_detail
where cast(trans_reminder_date as date) = curdate()
On MySQL for converting other types to another, you can use a cast
P.S.
Starting with MySQL 8.0.13 we have now an easiest way to create functional indexes. When you are using cast(updated_at as date) then DB will not use index for column updated_at. You must create a functional index for best performance.
The following query will give you all the result for the current date. By doing this there won't be any need to cast values.
SELECT
*
FROM
sales_detail
WHERE
trans_reminder_date >= curdate()
AND trans_reminder_date < curdate() + INTERVAL '1' DAY
ORDER BY
sales_detail_id DESC;
Using Cast function to change datetime type to date example
Cast(column_name as date)
Or
You using convert function change datetime type to date
CONVERT(column_name, date);
CONVERT(expression, datatype);
OR,
CONVERT(expression USING character_set);
character_set: It specifies the desired character set in which we want to be converted.
Data type : It specifies the desired data type in which we want to be converted.
Expression : It is a specified value going to be converted into another specific datatype.
i have a huge data with dates as string.
column name date1
datatype varchar
the stored data is in this format:14-Mar-2016 05:44:38pm
Now I have split only date from this string like this: 14-03-2016
By using this: DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(gr.date1, '%d-%M-%Y'),'%d-%m-%Y')
Now I am trying to compare the date with this query:
SELECT * FROM
( SELECT date1,DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(date1, '%d-%M-%Y'),'%d-%m-%Y') as dateFormatted
FROM `grabt` ) as mTbl WHERE mTbl.dateFormatted >= '19-01-2016'
AND mTbl.dateFormatted <= '25-01-2016'
but it is not working what could be the possible error.?
The timestamp string 14-Mar-2016 05:44:38pm can be converted to a datetime using the STR_TO_DATE() along with the format string %d-%b-%Y %r. We can then obtain only the date portion by wrapping that with DATE(). Have a look here for a demo to see that this works.
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT DATE(STR_TO_DATE(date1, '%d-%b-%Y %r')) AS dateFormatted
FROM grabt
) AS mTbl
WHERE mTbl.dateFormatted BETWEEN '2016-01-19' AND '2016-01-25'
As Gordon already pointed out, you should ideally be using date types not strings for your date calculations. And by the way, use a valid date string when comparing in your WHERE clause. YYYY-MM-DD is a valid format, e.g. 2016-01-19, but 19-01-2016 is not.
Learn to use the right types for columns. Perhaps you are stuck with someone else's really bad decision to store date/times as strings. Perhaps you cannot change that. But, within a query, use the right types!
SELECT mTbl.*,
LEFT(date1, 10) as FormattedDate -- Is this really necessary?
FROM (SELECT date1,
STR_TO_DATE(LEFT(date1, 10), '%d-%M-%Y') as thedate
FROM `grabt`
) mTbl
WHERE mTbl.thedate >= '2016-01-19' AND
mTbl.thedate <= '2016-01-25';
This will do the comparison as dates not as strings.
I have a report of customers that I wish to run in SSRS. The report I want to return is for a particular period (e.g. 01/01/2016 and 29/02/2016). The parameter is against a date field (End_Date).
What I would like to return is a list of customers WHERE End_Date is either BETWEEN the dates above (or any other period) and WHERE End_Date IS NULL too.
I am able to create a parameter that will list customers with an End_Date between the dates I want but how do I also get the parameter to also list the NULL values.
Hopefully that's clear but just in case - I need a list of customers where End_Date is between two dates or NULL.
Thank you
You need to account for the possibility of a null in your evaluation using an OR for the END_DATE.
Are you using the parameter in the query or on the dataset? The SQL is a bit different that the SSRS expression.
SQL
WHERE DATE_FIELD >= #START_DATE AND (DATE_FIELD <= #END_DATE OR #END_DATE IS NULL)
SSRS
=IIF(Fields!DATE_FIELD.Value >= Parameters!START_DATE.Value AND (Fields!DATE_FIELD.Value <= Parameters!END_DATE.Value OR ISNOTHING(Parameters!END_DATE.Value), 1, 0)
In the other filter properties, set the type to Integer, Operator to =, and Value to 1.
This will evaluate the expression and return 1 if it matches and 0 if not - then it filters for the 1.
I have created MySQL table :
CREATE TABLE EMP(
EMPID INTEGER NOT NULL (5),
SURNAME VARCHAR(25),
SAL INTEGER(5),
JON VARCHAR(25),
START_DATE DATE,
END_DATE DATE,
DEPNO INTEGER(5)
);
with following records:
INSERT INTO EMP
(EMPID,SURNAME,SALARY,JOB,START_DATE,END_DATE,DEPNO)
VALUES
('1','Vorosila','500000','COO','20150101',null,'1');
however I need to change date format from 2015 01 01 to 01 01 2015
Can anybody show me or tell me how to do that ?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
DATE values do not have a "format", they are objects that represent instants in time (or entire days, but still independent of formatting).
Formats are applied on input and output, so you just need to apply the correct format, which you can find in the MySQL manual, to the SELECT statement.
You cannot change the default date format in mysql.
I once hoped for the default date to be editable so I wouldn't have to jump through these hoops to get the date I actually wanted, mysql even has a date format system variable, but it is unused. Date Format Mysql - link
What you should really do is store it as the default format Year-Month-Date and then convert it on select.
The first thing I'd suggest is having your date columns as date types, which would give your dates the following format '2015-01-01'.
If you do this then you can use DATE_FORMAT - link - the second value in the DATE_FORMAT function allows you to customise the returned date, and there are many different thing you can do with this if you look at the link:
SELECT
DATE_FORMAT(`START_DATE`,'%d-%m-%Y')
AS `START_DATE`
FROM ...
The other option you have is to store your dates in the format that you already want as a char or varchar column.
HOWEVER, as should be obvious, this column will not be treated as storing dates, and so will not give you the correct comparisons in a where clause when using > < BETWEEN or the correct ordering in an order by clause. It is after all just a string of numbers in this case.
However you can then use STR_TO_DATE - link if you did need to use a where or order by on this column to change it back to a date within the query - in this case the second value is the custom format of your 'dates' in the column. Keep in mind with a where you will need to compare it with the correct mysql format as shown below:
SELECT
`START_DATE`
FROM table
WHERE STR_TO_DATE(`START_DATE`,'%d-%m-%Y') BETWEEN '2015-01-01' and '2016-01-01'
In MySQL you can change the format of a date using DATE_FORMAT method which is similar to to_char in Oracle.
DATE_FORMAT(SYSDATE(), '%DD-%MM-%YYYY');
For more information about specifiers check this thread http://www.sqlines.com/oracle-to-mysql/to_char_datetime
You can do what you probably want by creating a view and referring to that instead of the (underlying) table.
CREATE VIEW emp_view AS
SELECT empid,
surname,
sal,
jon,
date_format(start_date, '%d-%m-%Y') as start_date,
date_format(end_date, '%d-%m-%Y') as end_date,
depno
FROM emp;
Note that this changes the type of the date columns to varchar, so comparisons will no longer work as expected:
SELECT * FROM emp_view WHERE start_date > '01-12-1924'; // fails!
im using a query to get data between dates but for some reason it does not pull the data of the last date selected here is my query:
SELECT * FROM order WHERE status = "completed" AND orderdate >= ? AND orderdate <= ? ORDER BY orderid DESC
Im using is equal to or less then... but still?
what am i doing wrong ?
SELECT * FROM order WHERE status = "completed" AND date(orderdate) >= date(?) AND date(orderdate) <= date(?) ORDER BY orderid DESC
It happened with me also, but in my case instead of passing a date I was querying using a datetime variable, Please make sure you are querying with date variable only.
Make sure that orderdate is date as well as your query parameter is also date, or use appropriate function to convert them in date, than query.
Your dates are actually datetimes - so you are actually, in the case of the upperbound, saying "12 midnight" on whichever date you choose. Hence, if it tries to test a value at say 10am in the morning, it fails as being outside the range.
Either set the upperbound date one day forward, or explicitly only test the date part of the datetime...
