How Do I Convert Date-Values into Text Labels and Vice-Versa?
In some circumstances, it can be useful to create text labels with date information [e.g., when using a date variable as a coding variable with codes greater than 32,000 (e.g., As Values of Grouping Variables)? above]. In this case, you can transform the date variable into a variable containing date text labels with numeric equivalents in a range that allows them to be used as codes by all procedures of STATISTICA (i.e., numeric values less than 32,000). Use the Dates Operations – Text Dates tab to convert dates into codes. This dialog is accessed by selecting Date Operations from the Data menu.
