  • 1.  Date Formatting Challenges for a SAP Info Records Query

    Posted 06-14-2022 21:38
    Hi Folks,

    My simple query works well except that the following date columns I'm unable to extract in mm/dd/yyyy format . Could someone please guide me to setup the transformation rules?


    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Manjappa 

    Glad you script is working.  You could try two things that I know of:

    (1) in Excel, format the column to be the date format you want and re-run the query
    If that doesn't work
    (2) use an Excel formula =TEXT(I2,"mm/dd/yyyy") specify another column to create the value, like BI2, and check the box to Transform Original Mapping

    Hope that helps,
    Sigrid

    Hi Sigrid,

    I did try the option #1 - didn't work - however, the option #2 would  work but would also add extra columns - not desirable  and  the same issue with MARA table too (any date column).

    Thank you for your tips - will use it where possible.

    Thank You

    Hi Manjappa 
    If you check the Transform Original Mapping, you will only have 1 column, not 2.

    FYI

    Hi Manjappa ,
    The cell to do the work needs to be different

    Use BB2 or something like that - it's where the formula is evaluated but not displayed.  

    Best Regards,
    Sigrid
