Hey Guys,

Can anyone help me with this query or point me in the right direction?

I am new to Rapid but I've been trying to edit this data from a forex database. It is in .CSV so I import it into Rapid but I'd like to change the date and time columns so they are a little more usable. This is how it appears after import:

XAGUSD200101022309004.574.574.574.574

But I'd like to have it like this:

XAGUSD2001:01:0223:09:004.574.574.574.574

My plan is once I have the date and time in a more useable format I then want to run queries through the data and export the results to R or Matlab!


Any help would be much appreciated.

James.

    Hi,
    please take a look at the Nominal to Date operator. You can enter there arbitrary Date Formats to extract the real (numerical) date. You can then filter on this accordingly.
