Changing Date format to be displayed in report

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Dynamics 365 Busine... 700

Hi All,

In a report, I have a field for displaying Date of Birth of employees, in which the format of date being displayed is DDMMYY.

But, instead of this format, I have to display the date as '31 January'.

I tried 

"column(Birth_Date; format("Birth Date", 0, '<Month Text>')) { }"
 
on report but it is showing only month names.
How this could be achieved ?
Please suggest !
