Hi All,
I am trying to convert yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss to yy-mm-dd. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Sean
Solved! Go to Solution.
I figured this out. I had to convert at the query level, not at the design level.
What I did was first converting the data to date so for that I created an additional column with the formula "Date = Left(DateTimeColumn,10), then convert the date to whatever format you want in the Column tools, Data Type- Date and Format to the one you want.
If it is detected as date then
new = format([Table]date, "yy-mm-dd")
If it is text then
new = mid([Table]date,3,8)

Is there a way to do this without needing to add a new column? I was hoping for a workaround that would allow me to convert to date format.
If I have to resort to coding, I can, but this affects multiple columns across a large number of tables.
Thank you,

Sean,
Choose the datatype as date instead of datetime and select the format as yy-mm-dd in Report view.
Refer to the first screenshot and box 3. Choose the datatype and format dropdown.
