Is it possible to do an if else return statement with dates? For example, if the date in the date column is 1/1/21 I want it to return Week 1. I tried doing that below but I am getting the error shown in the screenshot.
You need to format your date into a defined pattern using DateTimeFormatter
, this is my test using the kibana_sample_data_flights
dataset:
GET kibana_sample_data_flights/_search
{
"size": 5,
"_source": ["timestamp"],
"script_fields": {
"mmddyyy": {
"script": {
"source": """
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
dtf.format(doc['timestamp'].value)
"""
}
},
"is08162021": {
"script": {
"source": """
String myDate = '08/16/2021';
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
if (dtf.format(doc['timestamp'].value) == myDate){return "yeah, it is " + myDate }
"""
}
}
}
}
