Format date to "yyyy/MM/dd"

Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to display date on my report (pdf) as "yyyy/MM/dd" in CRM dyanmics.

I tried the following:

=Format(Fields!From.Value, "yyyy/MM/dd" )   -- returns literal yyyy/MM/dd

= DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy", Fields!From.Value) + 0, DatePart("m", Fields!From.Value) + 0, DatePart("d", Fields!From.Value) + 0)  -- returns 5/4/2016 12:00:00 AM

= CDate( Year(Fields!From.Value) + "/" + Month(Fields!From.Value)  + "/" + Day(Fields!From.Value) ) -- returns Err: converstion from 'Double' to 'Date' requires caling the 'Date.FromOADate'  method

I tried setting the format at the field level, in custom formatting, but it always comes back as  "mm/dd/yyyy"

    This worked too:

    =Format(CDATE( Fields!From.Value ),"yyyy-MM-dd")

    but not the =Format( Fields!From.Value ,"yyyy-MM-dd")

    Thanks,

    Everyone who is looking for on how to format date in specific format in CRM dyanmics, here you go:

    =Format(Fields!From.Value, Year(Fields!From.Value).ToString() + "/" + Month(Fields!From.Value).ToString()  + "/" + Day(Fields!From.Value).ToString())

    this will display your date in "yyyy/MM/dd" format!
