I use Vue3DatePicker with 2 dates (range picker). I put a format on the range, but if the format is slightly different it does not work. How can I put a mask/format on it so it automatically adjusts it to the correct format?
For example:
Date 08-02-2023 works. Date 8-02-2023 does not work. 08/02/2023 Also does not work. How can I catch these dates and put them in the right format, so the datepicker works for those inputs?
<Datepicker
:format="'dd-MM-yyyy'"
:model-value="date"
range
text-input
:text-input-options="{ format: 'dd-MM-yyyy' }"
#update:model-value="setDate"
/>
Has anyone seen/solved this issue? I have a component that utilizes v-date-picker and v-text-field. The text field is using v-mask for dynamic masking. The masking works well when date is typed in. However, when the date picker is used, it causes the text field's contents to be updated multiple times and the functions used to construct the mask are called multiple times as well. As a result, the text field ends up blank, and I get an error stating that time value is invalid.
I understand that the date picker is performing its own checks, and the format it's using for dates is different from what I need. I tried a workaround to limit the number of calls coming from the date picker and populate the text field with a saved value at the last call. But I either still get a blank field or the 'invalid time value' error.
When I set breakpoints in the masking functions, I do see the date in the text field before it disappears.
I have this formula in value of text element. how can I format the amount to format this $#,##0
=IF([amount]=0;"N/A" ;"$"+[amount])
I want the amount should be formatted in report. how can i change the expression to get that.
Firstly, important to note that I'm in the UK so standard date format is dd/mm/yyyy
In a A1, I have a date: 02/05/2017 (dd/mm/yyyy)
I can confirm this in the immediate window:
?CLng(Range("A1").Value)
42857
Now, if I do the following:
Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value
you can probably guess, nothing happens - the date is still 02/05/2017 and the numeric value is still 42857
But if I use trim with it:
Range("A1").Value = Trim(Range("A1").Value)
The date is changed to 05/02/2017. This isn't just formatting - the numeric value has also changed to 42771.
What is it about the Trim() method that causes the date to be read in US format and then converted back to UK format with a new date value? Is this a bug?
From the discussion in comments:
The default or "token" format in VBA (not Excel itself, as Macro Man rightly pointed out) is US English - regardless of regional settings or cell formatting.
When you do VBA text functions on a date, the output of those functions are in text format. So the result of Trim(Range("A1").Value) is a string. This string happens to resemble a proper US date, so when you insert it into a cell, Excel recognizes it as a US date.
So two implicit conversions happen. The first happens when you read the cell contents and pass it to trim(): date->text conversion; the second happens when you write it back to an Excel cell: text->date conversion. The second conversion has no information about the format, so it assumes US English.
(You should be able to achieve the same result with any text function, not just trim().)
I found out that if you add "'" before the date, the date is not altered.
Range("A1").Value = "'"&Trim(Range("A1").Value)
I am a pilot, and use a logbook program called Logten Pro. I have the ability to take excel spreadsheets saved from my work flight management software, and import them into Logten Pro using the CSV format.
My problem however, is that the work flight management software, exports the date and time of take-off of a flight into one cell in the following excel format: DD/MM/YYYY H:MM:SS PM.
This is handled fine by Excel, and is formatted by default to DD/MM/YY even though the actual value is more specific, comprising of the full length date and time group.
This is a problem because Logten Pro will only auto-import the date if it is in DD/MM/YY format, and there is no way to pull out just the displayed DD/MM/YY date rather than the full date time group actual value, unless you manually go through and delete the extra text from the function box.
My question is: Is there a VBA macro that can automatically copy the actual displayed text, and paste it into another cell, changing the actual value as it does, to just the DD/MM/YY value? Additionally, can this be made to work down a whole column rather than individual cells at a time?
Note I have no VBA experience so the perfect answer would just be a complete VBA string I could copy and paste.
Thank You.
As pointed out in the comments, you'd better not use VBA but formulas instead.
This formula:
TEXT(A1,"dd-mm-yyy")
will return the formated date in a text way. You can drag and drop the formula in the whole range of your cells and Copy/Paste Special > Values so that you will only have the needed values to get imported in Logten Pro.
There are three options using formulas.
Rounddown
Excel stores the date time as a number and uses formatting to display it as a date.
The format is date.time, where the integer is the date and the fraction is the time.
As an example
01/01/2012 10:30:00 PM is stored as 40909.9375
All the values after the decimal place relate to the hours and minutes
So a formula could be used to round the number down to a whole number.
=ROUNDDOWN(A1,0)
Then format the value as a short date.
It will then display as 01/01/2012
INT
As above, but using a different formula to get rid of the fraction (time)
=INT(A1)
Text
Alternately the date only could be extracted as text using this formula
=TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yyyy")
It will then display as 01/01/2012
I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but recently came across this as was searching for answers to a similar problem.
Here is the answer I finally came up with.
Option Explicit
Sub ValuesToDisplayValues()
Dim ThisRange As Range, ThisCell As Range
Set ThisRange = Selection
For Each ThisCell In ThisRange
ThisCell.Value = WorksheetFunction.Text(ThisCell.Value, ThisCell.NumberFormat)
Next ThisCell
End Sub
This answers the question as asked, apart from the new values are pasted over the existing ones, not into a new cell, as there is no simple way to know where you would want the new values to be pasted. It will work on the whole range of selected cells, so you can do a whole column if needed.
