Hi All,

Currently we get US date format in BC.  Is there a way to change it to DD/MM/YYYY format?

I have the same question (0)

    Thanks but this doesn't affect documents. Hopefully future version will have localization based date formats in RDLC

    Hi, 

    Did you try checking the regional settings in your BC settings? Not sure if this will take effect in the documents but usually the issue for date and value separators system wide in BC.

    Quick example with the work date - English US:

    English Australia:

    Hope that helps

    Regards,

    Martin

    I was more interested in a systemwide setting instead of doing this through code but we can live with it :)

    This will help: docs.microsoft.com/.../format-property

    Basic google told me standard format for down under is year-MM-dd so from that list of “standard formats” number 9 looks like the one. So you could do format(“Posting Date”,0,9)

    Example shown here: docs.microsoft.com/.../format-function--code--text-
