Australia Date Formats in Reports

[Octfolio_Seb]

I have been struggling to format the date such as NOW() and TODAY() in an Australia format when using a Document Template to generate a Scheduled Report. Even by changing the locale of the tables or changing the document properties it didn’t make any difference. So I ended up creating the following. There are probably better ways as I’m not a programmer so I’m open to improvements. Hopefully, this will help someone else:

<<IF(DAY(NOW())<10, CONCATENATE("0", DAY(NOW())),DAY(NOW()))>>/<<IF(MONTH(NOW())<10, CONCATENATE("0", MONTH(NOW())),MONTH(NOW()))>>/<<SUBSTITUTE(YEAR(NOW()),”,”,””)>>

Well… that’s okay.

How about:

<<RIGHT(("0" & DAY(NOW())), 2) & "/" & RIGHT(("0" & MONTH(NOW())), 2) & "/" & (YEAR(NOW()) & "")>>

Much nicer, thanks Steve!
