Extracting Date form DateTime data type

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 436

Hello everyone, 

I have a custom field with datatype 'Date'. I have also used this field in reporting. The issue that I am facing is that when I'm previewing the report, time is also  being displayed along with the Date. I just want the date to be printed. Below are the images of the word layout and document that was previewed. Kindly help.

    Hi,

    Right click on Date field > Text Box Properties and choose what format you want

    Hi, This looks like a Word Layout, as far as I know it is difficult to modify the date format in Word Layout.

    So you can convert to the format you need, and output it on the page.

    Standard Date Formats:

    And, Date, Time, DataTime Conversions:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    It is not working as it is word layout and not RDLC layout. But thanks for the answer.
