Changing date from 2016-01-22 to 01-22-2016

Hi,

I've seen posts that are similiar but not quite my same issue. My data is coming in like 01/22/2016 and DOMO is changing it to 2016-01-22. Can you please help on converting it to month-day-year format.

I've used the below but wondering if there is anything in the ETL(Magic preferrably) to do it so I don't have to have multiple beastmodes for date all over my selects.

DATE_FORMAT(`Start/Invoice Date`, '%m-%d-%Y')

Thanks for clarifying @DMJerry. Since the data is coming in as a date then we should be able to adjust the format of the date using the chart properties. Here is an example of how to do that. I don't think there's a way to change this globally, it has to be done at the card level.

Does that approach meet your needs?

Thank you,

Hi @DMJerry thanks for reaching out. Can you provide a little more information about the issue you're seeing? Is the data coming in as a date format, or is it text? Also, are you seeing the date being formatted as YYYY-MM-DD in a card or in the dataset in the datacenter?

Thank you,

Hi @creed, Thank you for the response. The data is coming in as a date. In the CSV raw file it's "MM/DD/YYYY" but when it comes out into the final dataset it is in this format "YYYY-MM-DD" .. I don't mind the "-" vs "/" but I wanted to change the format within Magic(if possible) so I don't have to do the beastmode that I've had to use in my original post.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks @creed , sorry but I should've been more clear but this is for table cards which do not have that option. This is definitely a solution, so I'll mark it, but i really need it for table cards. I'll send it to feedback as an enhancement for the table card chart properties.

Thank you for all your help.
