Date Shifter

How do I do this with the new Date Shifter?

Could you provide more detail about what you want to do?

Hi Christopher,

the new Date Shifter accepts a specific date format only. See description on the help button.

Here’s a simple example for a counting loop.

Within the variable expression I create the expression for the date shifter:

Here’s the setting of the Date Shifter Node

New Date Shifter

What was simple is now completely different with no explantion in the KNIME help info.

These new nodes just get worse and worse. How do I replicate what was so simple?

  1. the new nodes usually have zero regard for what exists already
  2. the new nodes are technically better because they account for data types but integrate less well with nodes outside their scope (date&time nodes work well with each other but are cumbersome when used with non-date&time nodes - and the Expression node closes the gap only if you want to “program”
  3. see also WebUI: flow variable selection my previous complaint about the UI (and consider voting it up)
