Chapter 13 Managing Reports

Formatting Reports in Interactive Viewer

Table 13-6shows the standard date-and-time data type formats.

Step 1 Select a column that contains date or time data, then click Format.

The Date and Time Format window appears.

Step 2 In Format Date or Time As field, select the desired option.

Step 3 Click Apply.

Formatting Custom Date and Time

You can set custom date formats. Use custom date formatting, however, only if your report will be viewed in a single locale. Custom formats always display dates in the format you set and that format might not be clear in multiple locales.

For example, if you use the format MM-dd-yy, the date January 10, 2006 always appears as 01-10-06, regardless of the locale in which the report is viewed. For locales in which dates are displayed in date-month-year format, a 01-10-06 date is interpreted as October 1, 2006.

Table 13-10shows examples of custom formats and their effects on a date that is stored as 4/15/2006 in the data source.
