Have you tried using a custom calculation? Also can't excel make a bulk conversion of the date format?

Hello Rafik,
Thanks for the reply.
Nop, I have not used Custom Calculation. We are using CLM v6.0.3. Is this a new feature available in further versions ? Will using Custom Calculation help in changing the date format please ?
In excel we cannot do it as the end users are a set of top management people from UK who wish to directly download the report from the dashboard into their own systems multiple times a day and view the reports. When they do that, they see the date in mmddyyyy and they are confused. So they need the date format in ddmmyyyy in the report itself.

Can't we do something with the above SQL query itself please..
I tried to use convert (varchar,[date],103) from T1   but that did not work.

Custom calculations require at least Report Builder 6.0.4. If you want to use custom SQL. You can always search the internet for: SQL formatting dates. I will need to know the database backend you are using to be able to answer: Oracle, DB2 or SQL Server?

Thanks Rafik,
I checked in the internet but no where it gives me the method to change the date format in Report Builder from mmddyyyy to ddmmyyyy
Moreover, I also browsed the net for sparql related information about the date format converting, but could not find anything.
We use DB2

Please could you help here
