How do I make more than one date format in a single view in Swift?

I am trying to save data to a database and am using a date that shows seconds as the key but I want to show a smaller date in the value that is going to be displayed. The problem is to use the date formatter you need to set it like this and I cant figure out how to set another one without overwriting the current format.

DateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yy hh:mm:ss a"
Solution

  • This is how to have multiple DateFormatter in a single View.

    Formatter1

    let formatter = DateFormatter()
 formatter.dateFormat = "QQQQ\ryyyy" //Shows Financial Quarter for Date
 let formattedDate = formatter.string(from: date)

    Formatter2

    let formatter1 = DateFormatter()
 formatter1.dateFormat = "EEEE, MMM d, yyyy" //Wednesday, Mar 29, 2017
 let formattedDate1 = formatter1.string(from: date)
