Dear, I'm extracting data from a satisfaction survey log, and I'm trying to create a column with the date format, so I can group the days and months into an Excel PivotTable.
For more details, follow the field varchar with the date:
2018-08-27 00:00:59
I make the query below:
SELECT DATA, CONVERT(DATE,TB_EPA.DATA,121) AS DATA_AJUSTADA
FROM TB_EPA
The query returns me the value "2018-08-27" as the date. If I try to use the date format 103 which is the format I want to convert, SQL returns me the following error:
Conversion failed when converting date and / or time from character string.
The only way I found so far to leave the date format as dd / mm / yyyy was to make two Convert in the same query, however the field stays as Varchar and I can not leave it as Data.
Here is the query:
SELECT DATA, CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DATE,TB_EPA.DATA,121),103) AS DATA_AJUSTADA
FROM TB_EPA
In this way the query return is "27/08/2018" .
But the field returns to VARCHAR, if I try to make Select with one more Convert so that the value is returned as Data:
SELECT DATA, CONVERT(DATE,CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DATE,TB_EPA.DATA,121),103),103) AS DATA_AJUSTADA
FROM TB_EPA
The query returns 2018-08-27
Would you know any way to return this field as date (dd / mm / yyyy)? I researched in several places and could not find anything that solved my problem.
Thank you.
