Hi everybody,

 

I would like to show in a label the current date (@date) and the current time minus 1 hour.

That's why Board server is running in italian time, I would like to show in the label the UK-time.

 

I've done it with a very complex  nexel 

Is there someone with a smarter idea?

 

Thank you,

regards,

Edoardo

    Hi Edoardo,

     

    Nexel is very powerful and can be a solution for this need.

    You can also try to:

    1. create a text cube, that is structured by a dummy entity.

    2. dataflow @Time to this cube

    3. extract this cube

    4. create an ascii reader from the extract to the cube created in step 1 and apply ETL, that is reducing the hour value by 1

    5. chain these actions into a procedure with a screen refresh at the end and your done

    Hi, 

    I'm wondering : what will happen if you have 60+ users opening this screen at about the same time with that solution? Won't it queue up the procedure? And therefor users be stuck a few second before data are refreshed?

     

    Moreover,  Date won't match around midnight

     

    Regards,
