Remove time stamp from date format

Valeriehern

Hello,

 

If I have a date format that includes month, day, year, hour, minute, second, as follows: 

21-Apr-16 1:53:46

 

What is the Date_Format in Beast Mode to only get the "Mon, Day, Year"?

 

Thank you.

DATE_FORMAT(`DateFIeld`, '%m, %d, %y')

Great suggestion Godzilla! There are many different posibilities that influence how we could answer this.  Is the date already a string? Where is it showing up in the card?  The formula above is going to change it to a string.

The below formula will maintain your data type as a date if you need it.  DATE(`DateField`)

@Valeriehern, did any of the above replies help you out?

Valeriehern

Yes. Sorry didn't loop back around earlier. Thank you!

%M gives the full Month spelled out (eg, November), apparently with a trailing space for some reason

%m gives the number of the Month (eg, 11)

What gives the format that is above ('Nov')? 

 

Would be nice to have a page of the different format options on date.
