Timezone change in SOQL query - salesforce

I am running a SOQL query and getting a date/time field value as per user's timezone. I have a requirement to change the timezone in EST in the SOQL query itself. For example: User is in PST and while running SOQL query I am getting createdDate field value in PST. But I need that the result should give the createdDate value in EST.
Date in PST = SELECT CreatedDate FROM Opportunity
Date in EST = SELECT ????? FROM Opportunity
Thanks.

From Date Formats and Date Literals
dateTime field values are stored as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When a dateTime value is returned in Salesforce, it’s adjusted for the time zone specified in your org preferences. SOQL queries, however, return dateTime field values as UTC values. If you want to process these values in different time zones, your application might need to handle the conversion.
You can use format(dateFormatString, timezone) method of Datetime class or dateGMT() to convert date in Apex.
If you need to display date somewhere outside of Salesforce, you will need to do this on your end.

BigQuery/Google Data Studio: Counting orders from first purchase to max date on date range filter

I am using BigQuery and Google Data Studio to build a table that shows customers total orders from their first purchase to the max date selected on the date range filter.
This is the sample dataset I have
This is the output I want
Not sure if Data Studio supports this. Is it an option to always use some old date like 01/01/1970 (set it as default) as the first date on the date range? That way you can just add Customer Id and First Order Date as Dimensions and count(Order Date) as Metric.

Search between two dates with ISO8601 format

Using angularjs, dynamodb as DB here.
I have a form where user saves some data. I save my "CreateOn" date in my dynamo db as:
DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("o");
//This saves date in DB as:2018-08-21T12:58:08.7823906Z
Storing like this because dynamo db requires dates (string) to stored in ISO8601 format if you want to use between operator to search for date range.
Now I have a search filters on my page which is basically an angular calendar. When the user selects the date in the calendar( start and end date) I want to get the data back based on the selected date. Here I am using moment to pass the calendar selected date to my api call as:
moment(createdOn).toISOString()
Eg: If they select the Today's date in the calendar I pass the selected date
(Tue Aug 21 2018 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)) to the above function
The result of passing this date to moment(createdOn).toISOString() is
2018-08-21T04:00:00.000Z
The search condition at dynamo db is:
conditions.Add(new ScanCondition("CreatedOn", ScanOperator.Between, startDate, endDate ));
If the user selects from the calendar the start date as "08-20-2018" (2018-08-20T04:00:00.000Z) and the end date is "08-21-2018"(2018-08-21T04:00:00.000Z), the code all the data created b/w these 2 dates.
Now the issue is if they select same start and end date then the code does not returns any data, I believe because the start and end date is "2018-08-21T04:00:00.000Z" and the time part of this is all 0000 etc.
My question is how can I convert the date from my calendar ie my end date to correctly reflect the the end time which they select. I havent used ISO8601 format before so not sure how can I do so.
Thanks
You don't need moment for this. You can zero out the time using a Date in the following way.
const date = new Date('2018-08-21T12:58:08.7823906Z')
date.setUTCHours(0)
date.setUTCMinutes(0)
date.setUTCSeconds(0)
date.setUTCMilliseconds(0)
Then you can simply use toISOString() to format the date.
date.toISOString()
// returns '2018-08-21T00:00:00.000Z'
If you don't want to zero out the time, and instead want to set some specific time, you can use a similar approach, just substitute the 0 with whatever time you want.
Some other things to note: DynamoDB doesn't require any specific formatting for dates. DynamoDB simply does a string or number comparison depending on what the field is defined as. You could store your dates in DynamoDB as integers or another string format if you feel that would be easier to work with.
Also, I'm not sure how your table is setup but make sure that your "CreateOn" field is the Range key and that you are using Query, not Scan. Using the Scan operation doesn't scale well.

Max aggregate function with autonumber and date field in access

I have ran into a problem recently. One of the tables I have in MS Access database contains multiple fields but the main focus is on an autonumber field and date field. When I try to apply Select query with Max(autonumber) function and where clause containing date field, the wrong value or rather empty column is shown. as soon as i remove the date field from the where clause, the value is returned fine. My query is attached. Any help would be appreciated.
SELECT MAX(serial) AS Expr1
FROM coaDetails
WHERE (((coaDetails.[title])='CLAIMS')AND ((coaDetails.[dates])=#04/08/2018#));
The above query, serial is autonumber while dates is date/time with format as dd/mm/yyyy
There is no error in the query but it just gives wrong value. as soon as date condition is removed it gives results.
Use the mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd format for the string expression for the date value:
WHERE (((coaDetails.[title])='CLAIMS')AND ((coaDetails.[dates])=#2018/08/04#));
In the SQL code, the dates have to be formatted the american way: #mm/dd/yyyy#. In the query design grid, which is a user-friendly, graphical view of the SQL code in the back, the format depends on your regional settings.
Therefore, just use the month first:
SELECT MAX(serial) AS Expr1
FROM coaDetails
WHERE (((coaDetails.[title])='CLAIMS')AND ((coaDetails.[dates])=#08/04/2018#));

Criteria to get last not null record present

I have a daily record table where records are stored date wise. I am using hibernate criteria to access data. How do i get the last date till which records are present continuously (date wise continuity) by providing a date range. For example, say records are there from 21-09-2012 to 25-09-2012 , again from 27-09-2012 to 31-09-2012. I want to form a query using criteria to get record of date 25-09-2012 because for 26-09-2012 there are no records (by passing date ge 21-09-2012 and date le 31-09-2012) . I want to know the last date till which records are present continuously. Say the table has three fields - 1.recordId (AI) 2.date 3.Integer record.
Its not a proper solution to your question. But it may be scenario specific.
How about getting the data for a date range and show then on a calender. Change the color of date if the corresponding value is null.
I think HQL will be better way to this in Hibernate:

Solr: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Invalid Date String:

I am new to solr and this is my first attempt at indexing solr data, I am getting the following exception while indexing,

I understand from reading some articles that Solr stores time only in UTC, this is the query i am trying to index,

Why i am doing this timezone conversion is because i need to group results by the user timezone. How can i achieve this?

Solr dates must be in the form 1995-12-31T23:59:59Z. You're only giving the date part, but not the time.
See the DateField javadocs for more details.
Date faceting is entirely driven by query params, so if we index your events using the "true" time that they happend at (formatted as a string in UTC) you can then select your date ranges using whatever timezone offset is specified by your user at query time as a UTC offset.
facet.range = dateField
facet.range.start = 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z+${useroffset}MINUTES
facet.range.gap = +1DAY
This would return result in the users timezone and there is actually no need to timezone conversion the query and indexing that column separately.

Rohit
