I created a datetime variable like so
LET vTEST = '2018-09-05 13:27:14.5';
Then, I tried various methods to strip the time component from the date. Here are the various techniques for doing this, along with their generated results:
DATE(MAKEDATE(YEAR($(vTEST)), MONTH($(vTEST)), DAY($(vTEST))), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF') = "2018-09-05 00:27:00.000"
DATE(FLOOR($vTEST)), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF') = "2018-09-05 00:27:00.000"
DATE(NUM(DATE(FLOOR($(vTEST)) 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF') = "2018-09-05" <======== THIS is what I wantedA Qlikview datetime is represented by a floating point number with the date on the integer side of the decimal point, and the time on the fractional side. I honestly thought the
FLOORfunction would do what I want, but it left the minutes untouched, which resulted in the variable still having a time component.

In my geeky teens I would have thought, "oh wow, this is so cool, 4 levels of parens!" and shown it to all my friends (erm, wait, what friends???) who would have gone "wow, that IS cool!" (if I had any friends.) Now in my geeky 50's I'm with you -- I look at that and think, wow, what BS is this?

On the other hand, I have never heard of "Qlikview" (fortunately), and perhaps this "language" can't cope with balanced parentheses :laugh:

I'm somewhere between my teens and 50's and two parens would've been fine for me ;p

Perhaps the feature "common sense" was integrated. If it sees HH, then the next format will treat minutes regardless of the casing ;P

LET vResult = Date(vTEST, 'YYYY-MM-DD'); <-- vResult = 2018-09-05Also, 'MM' for months, 'mm' for minutes.
