(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MIA27 2

On my display screen the date format is below and 

MIA27_0-1657956476057.png

And the data is as below

MIA27_1-1657956536684.png

 

I want to display the date as dd-mm-yyyy.

So I tried the below on the formula by replacing the above shown formula by

Text(Parent.Default,"dd-mm-yyyy"

It fails, nothing appears on the screen. 

 

Please advise how to solve it

    Please use Text(DateTimeValue(Parent.Default), "dd-mm-yyyy" ).
