    I am not sure exactly what your question is. But here is the documentation for the different formats available for different data types.

    None of the standard formats are going to give you what you are looking for. You are probably going to have to right code that reads the day of the month and add st to 1, nd to 2, rd to 3, th to 4 through 20, st to 21, nd to 22, rd to 23, th to 24 through 30 and st to 31.

    Hi, There are generally two ways to format date

    Format date in VS code.

    Format date in SSRS

    If neither of these two can be achieved, you need to define a procedure in Codeunit yourself. In Japan, there are generally dedicated date formats, so this is very common.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
