Hello,
I have a date column that I formated to (mmmm yyyy). This format shows the full month as "January". Whenever I try to abbr. the mth by changing the format to (mmm yyyy), the columns shows this "10ar 2001 (Jan 2023)". How can I format the column to only show the date in parenthesis only?
Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Can you post a picture of the following :
Model View->Select the field then look in Properties -> the formatting section lower down

It looks like you have the correct format but there's extra stuff in there too.

I was typing the format code in the column instead of the properties pane. When I typed it in the properties pane, it worked. Thanks
I got it now. It is working. Thanks
Yes, here is the picture. I tried to abbre. March to Mar and I also remove the March 2001. When I select the dropdown that is the only format that shows month and year only. I do not see one available with the abbrev. month. Thanks
