Date Format

Dear Bright-ideas.dk

Many thanks for the response. I have attached two images, one is of the client that shows the dates of the excel sheet and the second one is the time format of the server. I have used calculated value in for the name and the code is as follow;

Option Explicit
Dim szName, szDate

szName = "Shift Handover, dated "
szDate = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty( 1021 ).TypedValue.Value

Output = szName & szDate

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong

Hello,

Please read all the article that bright-ideas.dk posted. If you follow all the steps on the server, it will work.

Since you are already using scripts you can manipulate the date-string to your liking inside the script. You can use a simple rearrangement using something similar to what I did in this script:

'partial script, reformatting a date to YYYY-mm-DD
Dim szActivityDate : szActivityDate = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty( pdActivityDate ).TypedValue.DisplayValue
Dim szYear : szYear = right(szActivityDate,4)
Dim szMonth : szMonth = mid(szActivityDate,4,2)
Dim szDay : szDay = left(szActivityDate,2)
Output = szYear &"-"& szMonth &"-"& szDay

You can also convert UTC to local time using something like this:

Dim dCreated : dCreated = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(20).TypedValue.GetValueAsTimeStamp().UtcToLocalTime().GetValue()

Thanks a lot. It worked
