Hi all,
I am using ColdFusion to drag some data kicking and screaming out of a very
strange MS-based database. The date of birth field has values such as 716640
and 712672.
After a bit of mucking about I discovered that I can place this value in an
excel cell and change the format to date to
Ok,
It will be a julian date of some format, which is normally a number or
seconds or minutes past a certain point in time, based on the small number,
minutes.
The standard Java Time is seconds or milliseconds past 1 Jan 1970.
I tried this with yours but it didn't work, you need to
Trying to create a date of 0001/01/01 is alot of fun in CF - I cant
seem to create one using createdate(). I imagine Tom you will have to
use something like the code below to generate a reference date to
compare the integers against.
cfset mydate = createdate(1962,2,2)
cfset refdate = dateadd(d,
Hi Rei,
if you go look at your datasource in coldfusion administrator, under
the advanced settings there is an option for Enable long text
retrieval (CLOB) . make sure it's turned on.
cheers,

The funny thing is, Excel recognises these numbers as dates. If I paste one
of the numbers into Excel, then do Format Cell Date and choose the last
option on the list, Excel will happily turn it into a correct date. To my
thinking, it must therefore be a fairly standard way of formatting a date
My client has asked for advice on what the ramifications might be for
his site if he shares content with another company who uses WSE

The content will require secure access - there's dollars being passed

Hi Tom,
According to http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html:
In most modern programming environments, dates are stored as real
numbers. The integer part of the number is the number of days since some
agreed-upon date in the past, called the epoch. In Excel, today's date, June
OK. Feeling a bit silly now.
#dateformat(718167,d.m.yy)# works a treat. It gives 9.4.66 which is the
same result as Excel (and I assume is correct)
My confusion initially was that #dateformat(718167,d.m.)# gives
9.4.3866 which didn't look right at all so I thought is wasn't working. The

I think we all do. I did the same thing a few years ago to, and even posted
a solution to this from a mssql database.
Tom: Yeah it is a Julian format, and is commonly used in storing dates in
mySql servers.

Looks like a bug in the dateformat function. Perhaps you could raise
an issue with Adobe about it.
Actually Excel returns the same result when you force it to use a four digit
year.

I can't see a bug at all. The dateformat function simply diplays the
last two digits of the year of the date as it should. It the date is
stored as 9.4.3866 you would expect a display of 9.4.66 wouldn't you?
What I want to know is why #dateformat(1,d.m.)# is 31/12/1899
and not 1/1/900 ??

My point exactly excel parses the date from 1/1/1900, so should CF. The date
stored in excel is the same as CF, for Tom's example it would be stored
internally as 9/4/3866 regardless of how you display it. Half way down the
article;

Tom,
The number is simple it is a date that is number of seconds from a given
date, if you type the number into excel it is going to do its best to
convert that number to a date.
The actual problem as I tried to find the code that I came up with fro
coldfusion, is simple to achieve.

But the certificate is worthless in the sense that employers seem to hold no
