Date format in custom reports

Hi,
I created a custom sales report to export as CSV.
On exported file date comes as “mm/dd/yyyy”. I tought I can handle it in excel but some date ranges came as “dd/mm/yyyy”.
How can I set them as “dd.mm.yy”
Thanks

Thanks for reply,
I tried many combinations but didn’t work. :slight_smile:
Could you please help for formatting date according to the attached image.

Just post what have you already tried?

Something like [=FD(‘DATEFIELD’,dd.mm.yyyy)]

You can see date on preview window.

Not sure if it will work (the syntax is correct, but I don’t think Report Tags support inline expressions), but try this where you have O.Date

[=FD(O.Date,'dd.MM.yyyy')]

Thanks but as you say it doesn’t work. :slight_smile:

There should be a way to do that.

Ok, try the FD() function in the last section of the report, which is the formatting section …

:"{1}";"{2}";"{3}";"{4}";"{5}";[=FD("{6}",'dd.MM.yyyy')]}

Didn’t work either :confused:

That should work… please copy/paste and post the content of your Export Template here so that we don’t need to type it all out from a screenshot.

Sorry about that,

Formatted with comma-separators, 2 decimals on Price, removed Index, and ISO 8601 date …

Order Details
Group,Name,Quantity,Price,User,Date
{REPORT ORDER DETAILS:
O.ItemGroup,
O.MenuItemName,
O.Quantity.Sum,
O.Price,
O.User,
O.Date
:
:"{0}","{1}","{2}",[=F("{3}",'0.00')],"{4}",[=FD("{5}",'yyyy-MM-dd')]}
