    Hi,

    you can go to the visual studio and open the design of your report, and in the text box properties of date text box you can find "Number" on the left side, under "Category" select Date and finally under Type select your required date format. Also you can set the format from the Custom category.qry-answer.jpg

    If that's customization, it's going be difficult to find it for you.

    You should probably search in SalesInvoiceDP class. That's where the data is provided to report.

    In 2 ways you can change the date format

    1) In report design level you can change the format of control

    2) you can change the  EDT level

    Is it AX2012 standard report or some customization? If it's cutomized to display date as a string, it's probably set in date2str method, where you can pass date sequence (for example 321 for YYYYMMDD).

    The date format you see in AX is taken from the regional settings of the user's Windows log-in. If your Windows user has a Date format of dd/mm/yyyy then that's what you'll see in AX.

    Hey,

    Date format in AX is based on your Windows setup as far as I know. If you change it in your OS, it will affect AX.
