Hi reporting gurus, I'm trying to build a report- and I'd like to record a date- but only want the day and month- NOT the year. Is there a way to do that? It appears that the date option only lets you log day, month, year. For example- I'm working on a custom form for our users- and would like to include their birth day- only year and month tks! Karen

Hi (virtually, again) Karen! I'd suggest a combination of CONCAT, DAY, and MONTH in either a calculated parameter, or a calculated column. Regards, Doug

Hi Karen. Here's everything you wanted to know about CONCAT (et al) but were afraid to ask, with which you could build something such as CONCAT(MONTH(Birthday),'/',DAY(Birthday)). Regards, Doug

I too, am trying to display the project planned start and planned completion dates as MM/DD. We also need this to export to Excel as MM/DD, and not converted to a number value (which is what happens if you use Value format shortAtDate). I'm trying the following valueexpression, but its not working. Any thoughts: displayname=Start On textmode=true valueexpression=CONCAT(Month({plannedStartDate}),'/',(Day({plannedStartDate})) valueformat=HTML I also tried this one: valueexpression=CONCAT(Month(plannedStartDate),'/',Day(plannedStartDate))

Hello, The below works when the date comes from a project custom form (I wanted to display the month only). Any idea about how we can ask WF to say Jan, Feb etc. instead of 1,2,3 etc.? valueformat=HTML textmode=true valueexpression=CONCAT(MONTH({project}.{ DE: Name of your field })) displayname=Rev. month Thanks, Yannick
