Extracting the Date Based on a pattern
Hi All,
I am trying to extract the date from one column based on a pattern..For example in the table below
if the column orderstatus has a * in the beginning and then there is a date of the format mm/dd/yyyy then I need to extract that date as the soldorstockdate otherwise I need to extract the date from orddate as the soldorstockdate...Can you please let me know how to do this...
Thanks,
Arun

Yes no problem , no need to say WHEN again ... This way should clear out the error
CASE WHEN LEFT(`ORDERSTATUS`,1) ='*' OR `ORDERSTATUS` like '%BAM%' THEN DATE_FORMAT(RIGHT(TRIM(`ORDERSTATUS`),10),'%m/%d/%Y') ELSE DATE_FORMAT(`orddate`,'%m/%d/%Y') end

Hi @ozarkram
if always the date you need is present at the end of the string and the identifier is
*
then first check for that asterisk character present, then get the last 10 of the string converting it to date format mm/dd/yyyy else use the columnorddate
this beastmode should do the job
-- Name your beastmode Soldorstockdate CASE WHEN INSTR(`orderstatus`, '*') >= 1 THEN DATE_FORMAT(RIGHT(TRIM(`orderstatus`),10),'%m/%d/%Y') ELSE DATE_FORMAT(`orddate`,'%m/%d/%Y') END

- check for the * character in the string
- if present then get the last 10 characters from the strings (if always is the date at the end)
- convert it to a date format month , day and year
- if the character * is not present then use the other column
This beastmode should do the job
-- name your beastmode Soldorstockdate CASE WHEN INSTR(`orderstatus`, '*') >= 1 THEN DATE_FORMAT(RIGHT(TRIM(`orderstatus`),10),'%m/%d/%Y') ELSE DATE_FORMAT(`orddate`,'%m/%d/%Y') END
