how can I convert the string "average_time_per_KM" to time in the formt of mm:ss?
I tryed using TIME and got an error 'Invalid time string "4:56"'Cast query to time format
is there a different function to cast in to mm:ss?
You can use any of below parse time that presented as string as minutes:seconds
PARSE_TIME("%M:%S", average_time_per_KM)
or
CAST(average_time_per_KM AS TIME FORMAT 'MI:SS')
You need to tell BQ what is the meaning of each digit in the string you give it.
For that you need to use the PARSE_TIME function:
SELECT PARSE_TIME("%M:%S", average_time_per_KM)
FROM `your.table`

I'm trying to format a date for an API. the desired format is: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffff+HH:mm
(eg. 2022-10-12T09:52:14.1234567+03:00). I'm using Date.ParseExact in the following way:
Date.ParseExact("2022-10-12T09:52:14.1234567+03:00", "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffff+HH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
.
Initially I used 'Now' instead of this string, but then I saw that the string and the desired format have to match. The error I'm getting is 'DateTime pattern 'H' appears more than once with different values.'. Is there a way to avoid that? Also is it possible to use 'Now' in this line?
Thank you
I suspect that you don't have a parse issue, you don't need ParseExact at all. You have a Date and want to return it as a formatted string. Then use ToString and zzz for the utc-offset:
string result = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz");

Snowflake documentation says to use TO_DATE('2022-01-01', 'YYYYMM'), however, when running that I receive the error message:
"Error: too many arguments for function [TO_DATE("policy_effective_date", 'YYYYMM')] expected 1, got 2"
Any help is appreciated.
I was expecting to see 2022-01-01 turn into 202201. Even if I need to bring in DD that's fine too, I can just capture the LEFT 6 digits, but regardless the system is saying it's too many arguments.
TO_DATE() function accepts string/varchar format date and converts to Date Data type. For that we need to pass existing String date type format to parse. To Convert to the required format we need to use to_varchar as given in the documentation. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions-conversion.html
I was trying to query the duration of a WWE wrestler in the matches which he won and here I have successfully retrieved the data:
I would like to remove those zeros and I tried the following piece of code:
strftime(%H:%M:%S, R1.time_in_match)
which doesn't work and give the following error:
': near "%": syntax error
The data I imported were from a data frame which stores the time as time object and put them into the database as type DATETIME. The typeof function used on the "time_in_match" field returned type TEXT.
I was wondering if there is any way to format the time.
Thanks!
SQLite provides 2 functions for this case:
strftime('%H:%M:%S', R1.time_in_match)
and simpler:
time(R1.time_in_match)
because:
The time() function returns the time as HH:MM:SS
(from Date And Time Functions)
See the demo.
Your expression works as intended if you surround the format specifier with single quotes:
strftime('%H:%M:%S', time_in_match)
You could also just use string functions here:
substr(time_in_match, 1, 8)

Hi am trying to use the datetime.parse exact object in vb.net, but I keep getting an error saying invalid format. Here is my statement, could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong??
Dim TimeStart As Date
TimeStart = DateTime.ParseExact("2013.07.15-07:10:02", "yyyy.MM.dd-HH:MM:SS", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat)
The error is because the seconds must be lower case. Also, you're asking for the month twice. I suspect this is the format string you need:
yyyy.MM.dd-HH:mm:ss
Just as an informational bit, the upper case 'H' means it's looking for 24-hour time, instead of 12-hour time. Lower-case 'h' would mean 12-hour time. Here is the reference for custom datetime format string rules:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx
I am using these codes for displaying time in VB.NET
it shows up in 24 hours format besides i need it in 12 hours format
System.DateTime.Now.Hour
System.DateTime.Now.Minute
System.DateTime.Now.Second
example:
14:12:42
I need it as :
02:12:42
thanks.
Use String.Format. For example:
String.Format("{0:T}", System.DateTime.Now) //02:12:42 PM
String.Format("{0:hh:mm:ss}", System.DateTime.Now) //02:12:42
String.Format("{0:hh:mm:ss tt}", System.DateTime.Now) //02:12:42 PM
Also, this website to be very helpful in summarizing the various ways you can use String.Format. Keep in mind the culture can make a difference on non-custom formats. The first example above using T (Long Time format) works on my US-based PC just fine. But if you say:
String.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, _
"{0:T}", System.DateTime.Now)
You end up with 14:12:42. The latter two examples are custom formats and are not affected by culture.
When using DateTime objects you can actually use the ToString() method and set your format inside it.
string currentTime = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");
Check this msdn article out for more clarity:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zdtaw1bw.aspx
Use the appropriate format string for display.
string formatted = myDateTime.ToString("hh:mm:ss");
I have used a custom format string in this case.
1-Use regex to get first two characters of that string ie from 23:11:59 get 23
2-convert this number to integer type
3-now check it if it is not greater than 12 and if it is subtract 12 from it and by using string.replace replace the old value.
Try This...
Dim CurTime As String
CurTime = TimeOfDay.ToString("h:mm:ss tt")
