Change Date format to Global Standard dd/mm/yyyy

How do you change the default date format the one the rest of planet Earth use.... ie DD/MM/YYYY. The Nth American format mm/dd/yyyy is not the centre of the known universe.....
and yes centre is spelt correctly

thanks Gerry, my sys prefs are default to the non Nth American, I did manage much later the right click and change the template, however, I'm still using the Trial iWorks'06 so perhaps thats why it didnt pick the "Proper" date format from sys prefs.....!
Thanks for taking the time to reply... G5 HmmmmNice, I hope to keep going on this until its 3rd birthday, March 17th 2007...
Take care

  • Changing date format to look like dd-mm-yyyy

    I want to use the date format as 25-12-2010 (day-month-year). I could not find how. Is there a place to change that? Can I make custom formats for dates?
    Hursat

    Hursat,
    I must admit, I just noticed that you are using Numbers 08. Perhaps there is something different in Numbers 09. If so, I apologize. I don't presently have access to Numbers 08 to check.
    Numbers 08 Help says:
    . To add and format the date and/or time, place the insertion point where you want the value to appear, and then choose Insert > Date & Time.
    . To change the date and time format, Control-click the date and time value, choose Edit Date & Time, and then choose a date and time format from the pop-up menu. If you want the spreadsheet to always show the current date and time, select “Automatically update on open.”
    Based on this help, there's not much difference. Try a text box and see if you can insert date and time there.

  • 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.

  • Change date format in reporting (query)

    Hi Suresh,
    Go to transaction su01d in that enter your user.
    Now go to defaults and change the date format.
    Ya but this format will be user specific, so if you want everyone to see that format you have to change it for all.

  • 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.
