Title: date format in YYYYMMDD
Post by: pikachu on 11 Jun 2007 11:09:13 AM
If the date format in my data is YYYYMMDD, how do I inform Report Studio that the data is in date format so that I can use the "Data Format" to specify how to display the date?

Also, how do I choose to automatically roll-up the dates in a crosstab? thanks for any help.

Use to_date function to convert 2 date formate
