JMP16 Using Custom Date Formats In Scripts

Hello, 

 

I am working on a data table in which the date is formatted as such: 15/09/08/19:12 . 

I have managed to convert this using the custom format feature in the data table editor with the following: //

/<::> but via script I cannot figure how to get this to work. 

 

Below is an exert of the script, any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Best Regards, 

Luke

dt = Pick File("Select .csv file with  data", path, {"Excel|csv;xlsx;xls", "JMP Files|jmp;jsl;jrn", "All Files|*"}, 1, 0, "");

Re: JMP16 Using Custom Date Formats In Scripts

Syntax when using Format pattern is a bit different. Try something like:

Format("y/m/d h:m"),
Input Format("Format Pattern", "<YY>/<MM>/<DL><DD>/<HH24><::><MM>")<P>Example table</P><PRE><CODE class=" language-jsl">New Table("Untitled",
 Add Rows(1),
 New Column("Column 1",
  Numeric,
  "Nominal",
  Format("y/m/d h:m"),
  Input Format("Format Pattern", "<YY>/<MM>/</MM></YY>

/<::>"), Set Selected, Set Values([3061825920]), Set Display Width(89) ) );

Thank you @jthi, 

 

I am still a having issues where the column still is giving null results:

The column is changing to the desired format as if performing manually. Could it be because the original column name is not changing due to the name being "; The schema definition " ?

 

Thanks again. 

Re: JMP16 Using Custom Date Formats In Scripts

If you try importing it first as character, what does it look like? Only empty cells?

 

New Column( "; DateTime", Character, "Nominal),

If taken as Character we get the following:

Also, in regards to my previous reply, I edited the original csv and removing the ";" does not change the issue.
