Default Date Format (date in data has MM/DD/YYYY, DOMO defaults to YYYY-MM-DD)
Hello,
I've got a datastream pushing dates through in MM/DD/YYYY format
*(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),Date_Field,101))*
And DOMO seems to accept this no problem, but when I report on the dates, it pushes them into its default format of YYYY-MM-DD. I know a work around is to do a beast calculation and store as a date type- but I'd like to avoid having to create additional columns if I can help it.
Any ideas on how to work around? Either in the datastream/SQL pull, or in the background of domo itself?

If you are looking at the preview in a DataSet, it will usually display any columns with the "Date" data type in the MM/DD/YYYY format, but in order to be a "Date" data type, the underlying data must be in YYYY-MM-DD. Any other month/day/year format has to be Text.
If you wanted it to stay in a specific format, the easiest way would be to either import it as a text column in the format that you want or use DATEFORMAT in a DataFlow before creating a card off of it.
Thanks,
Jake

@user02411 I should add that using DATE_FORMAT will make the column text instead of a date.
