I saw the documentation of fomatting values, dates and time is business central. But couldn't understand it. Is there sample example to this?

    Question is not cleat but to format date you have different possibilities. I suggest to check for the following functions:

    Date2DMY()

    DT2Date()

    DT2Time()

    DMY2Date()

    How adaptable is the first one? As in can you just have the expression text for month and year?
