The Month with Leading Zero function (MONTH_WITH_LEADING_ZERO) generates a number that represents the month with leading zero for a timestamp provided in a given timezone.
The Month with Leading Zero function has two parameters, one of which is required:
Allowed Inputs: field value or a number representing a Unix timestamp.
There are several sources of Unix timestamps available. For example the stored value of a date or date time field is a Unix timestamp. Also When using the advanced interface the output of the date or date time expression function is a Unix timestamp.
Allowed Inputs: field value or a text string
The second optional parameter of the Month with Leading Zero function is a string that represents the timezone. Either use the query builder to choose a field that contains the value or use type a value to enter a number. The value should be based on the tz (timezone) database used by Linux and other Unix system in the form “Area/Location” e.g. “America/New_York”. If no value is provided then the current user's timezone is used.
The output of the Month with Leading Zero function is number representing the month with leading zero for the value of the timestamp provided in a given timezone.
For example MONTH_WITH_LEADING_ZERO(1349047828,“America/New_York”) would result in “09” and MONTH_WITH_LEADING_ZERO(1349047828,“Asia/Tokyo”) would result in “10”.
