2. When calculating dates/times, here are the tips!
2-1. Left Value can take all the following formats.
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
YYYYMMDD YYYY-MM-DD YYYY/MM/DD MMDDYYYY MM-DD-YYYY MM/DD/YYYY B D YYYY B D, YYYY D B YYYY YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.mmm YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.mmm MMDDYYYY-HHMMSS.mmm MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS.mmm MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.mmm YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS MMDDYYYY-HHMMSS MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS |
2-2. You can use only [+] or [-] operator.
2-3. Right Value can take only the following “time-delta” notations. There is NO SPACE after [n].
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
[n]day[n]hour [n]min [n]sec [n]msec [n]usec [n]week [n]month [n]year |
Note: [n] is an Integer.
2-4. You can use date or datetime for the Right Value only when operator is [-].
In this case, if Left Value is date, then the Right Value must be date. If the Left Value is datetime, then the Right Value must be datetime.
2-5. You can customize date or datetime with Custom date format.
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
YYYY|YY(Year) MM|M(Month) DD|D(Day) hh|h(Hour) mm|m(Minute) ss|s(Second)
|
You can combine then in various orders like shown in examples below.
