    <p>I have some simple code which should convert an NSDate which I retrieve from CoreData. For some reason it is not working in this class when the same code works in other views. What am I doing wrong? Below is the offending code and a screen shot of my log...</p> <pre><code>NSFetchRequest *request26 = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init]; [request26 setEntity:entityDiscription]; [request26 setResultType:NSDictionaryResultType]; NSExpression *keyPathExpression26 = [NSExpression expressionForKeyPath:@"date"]; NSExpression *swimLast750Expression = [NSExpression expressionForFunction:@"max:" arguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:keyPathExpression26]]; NSExpressionDescription *expressionDescription26 = [[NSExpressionDescription alloc] init]; [expressionDescription26 setName:@"swimLast750"]; [expressionDescription26 setExpression:swimLast750Expression]; [expressionDescription26 setExpressionResultType:NSInteger16AttributeType]; [request26 setPropertiesToFetch:[NSArray arrayWithObject:expressionDescription26]]; NSPredicate *pred26 = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(date &gt;= %@) AND (sport like %@) AND (sessiontype like %@)", swimSinceDateAsDate, sportTypeSwim, sessType1]; [request26 setPredicate:pred26]; NSError *error26; NSArray *objects26 = [context executeFetchRequest:request26 error:&amp;error26]; if (objects26 == nil) { NSLog(@"The fetch request returned an array == nil"); } else { NSLog(@"Contents of Array Object26 is:%@", objects26); NSDate *sessDate = [[objects26 objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey:@"swimLast750"]; NSLog(@"NSDate is: %@", sessDate); NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [formatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy"]; NSLog(@"DATE FORMATTER: %@", [formatter stringFromDate:[[objects26 objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey:@"swimLast750"]]); NSString *dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:sessDate]; //NSString *dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:[[objects26 objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey:@"swimLast750"]]; NSLog(@"dateString is: %@", dateString); sw750Last = dateString; } </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ewifV.jpg" alt="NSLog Output"></p>

    1. CO`sessDate` is not an `NSDate`. Looks like it's maybe a timestamp -- a number of seconds offset from some reference time; could be stored as either an `NSNumber` or `NSString`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
