Change date format

DonnaH

Hello!

 How do I change the way a date is displayed? I need to change dates displayed as ""yyyy-mm-dd" to "yyyymmdd" for a report.

Thank you!

Hi @DonnaH ,

First, you'll need to first create a helper column, e.g. "YYYYMMDD". Then modify and use the following column formula below:

=VALUE(YEAR([date column]@row) + "" + IF(MONTH([date column]@row) < 10, "0") + MONTH([date column]@row) + "" + IF(DAY([date column]@row) < 10, "0") + DAY([date column]@row))

You'll just need to substitute the bolded text "date column" to the actual name of your date column. After that, in your report, display the "YYYYMMDD" column.

Cheers,
