Datameer X stores and calculates dates as UNIX Time and uses the 1900 date system. Dates are converted into milliseconds (returning the difference between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC).
Date | Unix Time Conversion |
---|---|
Jan 1,1970 00:00:01 | 1 |
Jan 1,2016 00:00:01 | 1451606401 |
A constant is an identifier whose associated value cannot typically be altered by the program during its execution.
Constant | Component |
---|---|
ms | milliseconds |
s | seconds |
m | minutes |
h | hours |
d | days |
These time constants can be used when building formulas and functions as well as when using filters in order to manipulate time/date data.
