Date format not working when exporting to excel
« on: June 22, 2018, 06:31:25 pm »
Date is displaying with the correct format on the screen, but when exporting, the column becomes text and the dates are displayed with format yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00.00.
Is there something special that needs to be done so that it is exported with the correct format?

Thank you.

Hi. Here is the information:

1. Version 5.1

2. Column.format: "#,###.00"

3. Values are decimal

4. Column.dataType: "float"

Thank you for your help.

Orlando.

But your original question was about date column. You have to apply date format to date values.
