Date Format

Note: The Date Format field only applies to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

Specify a date format to be used in reports generated in this language. The format applies only to reports, not to user interface text in forms or to data printed from a non-report form.

These are examples of date formats:

  • g dd/MM/yyyy (where g is the Era indicator used in some languages)
  • d.M.yy
  • yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss p (where p is the AM/PM indicator)
  • d-M-yy hh:mm

Notice that the "M"s that stand for month are uppercase. Lower case "m"s stand for minutes.

Some reports may contain date fields that are set up to prevent overrides. They will not be affected by this Date Format setting.
