You can change the date format on a report, it just depends on the type of component.

For a slicer

To format the date:

  • Select the component containing the date field.

  • Go into the Inspector window and select “Data Format”.

  • You can then choose a predefined format or create your own.

To create your own:

  • Scroll down to the Custom section and edit the format from the Type field.

For Table and Chart Components

  • Change the data field properties.

  • Select the component containing the date field.

  • Select the Exact Date.

  • Change the data field properties in Data Binding.

  • In Data Binding click on the cog and Edit the Format…

Alternatively, you can also:

  • Edit format.

  • Scroll down to Custom.

  • In Custom choose how the date is displayed, edit Type: field

Change the date display

When adding Date fields (where available) from 1 per column i.e day - Month - Year to show in the same column as one entry.

  • Select the component containing the date field.

  • Then, select the Exact Date.

Examples of Date Formatting

Day

Month

Year

dd = 13

mm = 11

yy = 23

ddd = Mon

mmm = Nov

yyyy = 2023

dddd = Monday

mmm = November

Format

Output Result

dd mm yy

13 11 23

ddd/mmm/yyyy

Mon/Nov/2023

dddd-mmm

Monday-November

PRO TIP: You can use any divider - Slash or dash ""/" "-" or none

e.g. dd-mm-yy - dd/mm/yyy - dd mm yy
