Consistency of date format

I have a large audience that will have accomplished various forms that I deliver to me.

I have date fields that offer the course date selector and the pattern is set to DD/MM/YYYY.

However, some of my users tend to enter dates of some kind they like - eg. 280511 or 28.05.11 or 28/05/11, etc.

These 3 are the most common varieties.  When they enter one of them, the field accepts entry as it is.

Apart from a ToolTip, text in command prompt or help or what to tell them how to get into the field, what script can I use to convert the above 3 types of entry in the correct date format?

Thank you

PETA

Hi Peta,

You can do this by leaving the display model of the date/time field: date {MM/DD/YYYY}.

Then in the editing model, you must specify all the possible combinations the contribution of users dates:

date {MM/DD/YYYY}. date {jj. MM YY} | date {jj. M.yy} | date {D.M.yy} | date {D.mm. YY} | date {DDMMYY}

Each model is separated by a |

Hope that helps,

Niall

  • How to advocate for regional change of short date format

    This is something relatively trivial but annoying all the same, but I don't know where to go to advocate for change.

    Have just updated for Sierra and one of the first things I notice is the addition of a point at the end of the month in short date format, i.e. 'September 19, 2016'.

    "In Australia, as in the United Kingdom, the standard must not use this period - it should be just'19 Sep 2016", and in the past, that's how it appeared in OSX for the Australia. Don't know why the change.

    This abbreviation is not replaceable by the user, so where can I go to provide appropriate feedback and I hope to have this problem on the track?

    A solution is to make my default language and region of the United Kingdom, but do not know if there is a price to pay for it.

    You can provide feedback to Apple asking them to change it:

  • How can I configure the cell data format

    How can I configure data format of cell numbers: for example, I want to capture 123456.78 and need to be 12A3456.78?

    I tried to put #A # #. # format option, but it didn't work a few time and it became A123456.78.

    I also tried on excel and it worked very well, but I like the numbers better. is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    HEY Chi - Lun,

    I don't think that this is possible as many number format. You should be able to insert A in a text string using a formula, but this would happen in a second cell, not that the number has been entered.

    "Assuming all the"numbers require the same inserted letter after the second number, this should do the work."number" entered in column A; the formula in column B. In the table below, your value as an example is A6.

    = Left (A, 2) & "A" & RIGHT (A, LEN (A) - 2)

    Kind regards

  • Date format of messages is absolutely ugly

    Hi all.

    I'm really frustrated format of date/time of Messages on my iPhone6 (and also on my OS - X).

    What the main reason for the use of the words 'Today', 'Yesterday', 'Saturday' and other?

    Who need this lyrical sh * t? All my friends is also frustrated by this function, because if you need a specific date for the quote or shipping screen, you will need to do a lot of unnecessary travel.

    I mean - if you want to find something and need to translate "what the date was Saturday?", you need to go to calendar and look here, what date was Saturday.

    Apple !

    Please, I beg you! Make this switchable feature!

    This date format looks like completely unnecessary and useless decoration.

    Simply return the precise date.

    p.s. this message angry wrote after a misunderstanding with screenshots attached in the e-mail Messages.


    iOS version: 9.3.3

  • How canI change the date format of dd/mm/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in filed?

    I just got and try things my new Alcatel fire E with FirefoxOS (just updated) 2.0.0.0.

    It is usual in most operating systems to be able to customize the date and time (among others). After a few hours of unsuccessful fiddling with the phone and checking the various forums, I came to the conclusion that it is currently not possible on my phone with this version of FirefoxOS. Or did I just miss something?

    Achim

    Hi achim_59,

    I understand that you want to set the date format to display the jj/mm/aaaa on your Firefox OS device.

    This feature has been implemented in Firefox OS v2.1. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in v2.0:

    For other questions about the updates and implementation of your specific device features, please contact your device manufacturer, Alcatel.

    Is there a way to use data formats i.e. Go Mo Ko in numbers?

    I am trying to add the size of the library files to estimate the needs of the HD. If I had the files on my system I could just put them in a folder and the operating system would be to calculate them for me, but I don't have them yet. I have a list of files and their size in GB.

    Someone has it worked?

    I suggest the following:

    Create a second table called "convert".

    In this table, enter the first column as show (pasted here so you can copy)

    Value

    Divide by

    suffix

    0

    1

    b

    400

    1024

    Ko

    1000000

    GB

    1000000000000

    1099511627776

    TB

    Appropriate now in the table 1 use the conversion table to change the size of the files in the format:

    "C2 = ROUND (B2÷VLOOKUP (B2, Convert::A:C, 2, 1), 2) &" "& VLOOKUP(B2,Convert::A:C,3,1)".

    It's shorthand dethrone select cell C2, then type (or copy and paste it here) the formula:

    "= ROUND (B2÷VLOOKUP (B2, Convert::A:C, 2, 1), 2) &" "& VLOOKUP(B2,Convert::A:C,3,1)".

    Select cell C2, copy

    Select cells C2 at the end of the C column, paste
