How to change date format

Can anyone help me with this, Please?
I have a form with start date and end date and the date format I am getting is YYYY-MM-DD. But I would like to change it to MM-DD-YYYY format. How do I achieve this??
When I went to JFPREAMBLE_1, i see it reads:
^define group:PO_DOC_COMM__SVC_STRT_DT!FldNotAvail  \groupG_Commodity_Line\fieldPO_DOC_COMM__SVC_STRT_DT.
^define group:PO_DOC_COMM__SVC_STRT_DT!FldUsed      \groupG_Commodity_Line\fieldPO_DOC_COMM__SVC_STRT_DT.
^define group:PO_DOC_COMM__SVC_END_DT!FldNotAvail  \groupG_Commodity_Line\fieldPO_DOC_COMM__SVC_END_DT.
^define group:PO_DOC_COMM__SVC_END_DT!FldUsed      \groupG_Commodity_Line\fieldPO_DOC_COMM__SVC_END_DT.
Can I change anything here to change the format??? Or how do I change date format??
I would really appreciate your help on this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

    Hi,
    In Prompt:

  • How to change date format in OBIEE

    Hello
    I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
    The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
    Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • How to change date format in BR?

    Hi all!
    Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
    I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
    Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
    I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

    Hi,
    the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
    You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
    Cheers.

  • How to change Data Format

    I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
    I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
    I need help.
    Thanks in advance
    Marco

    Marco,
    It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
    I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
    On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

  • How to Change Date Format in the Title of the report.

    Hi Everyone,
    I want to change the Format of the Date in the title(Query run Date)taken by report through the variable "&Date" .
    The Format available is DD-MON-YY
    Desired Format is DD-MON-YYYY.
    Please let me know the same as early as possible.

    Hi NP,
    What I try to do is to reformat the default &date inserted into the Title for Discovere Plus and Viewer. When you edit the Title for the report, you can select the date from the Insert dropdown list to display the date when the report was run. The Date (shown &Date in the Title) has a default format of DD-MON-YY. As I have other date parameters displyed in the Title that have the format of DD-MON-YYYY specified by the user, I want to have the &Data in the same format. Please advise me how to achieve this.
    Thank yiou very much,
    J.K.

  • How to change date format for prentation variable

    Hi experts
    In my prompt the date format is MM/DD/YYYY . I have created one presentation variable for that but i want to use this in Formula as well in Title as: DD-MON-YY
    So how can i achieve it..
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Frnds

    Hi
    i think this can't be done through any code like oracle uses to_char, to_date function.
    Just follow this
    http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dates-dates-and-dates/
    With this, wherever you have this column, you will be getting this format dates..
    if you don't want in reports you can change it by mentioning the data format for that paricular column in report, but for the same column, if you want different format at different places (for prompts), you can't do that..

    Not sure id this helps...
    I was up against a similar issue of placing the user input dates, Starting & Ending, into one cell for a reference on each report header. After a few hours of diligence, I came up with a working model that finally worked:
    u_StartDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (Start):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
    and
    u_EndDateAsTXT=FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Enter Date/Time Shipped (END):");"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");"MM/dd/yyyy")
    The report header has the following function:
    =u_StartDateAsTXT + u201C u2013 u201C + u_EndDateAsTXT
