Question about report visual level date filters

Hello,

 

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to not have the filter use the time. I field's data type is date.


When I type in the date, it gets changed to date time gmt-0400 (eastern daylight time).


Is there is a way to not display the time portion? It would be easier for me to read, without the time.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you
Tracy

    There are 2 things. The data type and the display format. If you don't want time, you will need to make sure both are date and not date/time. Go into get data and make sure the data type is set to date. Then do the same in the data view so the display format is date

      hi matt,

       

      i have attached a screen shot that shows the field is set to date in the query editor and data view.

      in the report view, the field still shows a time.

      any help would be greatly appreciated.

       

      thank you

        Thanks for the clear screen shots Tracy - it is hard to "imagine" what is happening. I think Eric_Zhang or one of the MS team would have to answer this. It looks like it I could "by design" to me, but I agree it is pretty annoying g if your data type excludes time.
