Change date format in PowerDesigner List Reports

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've been asked to export certain metadata properties for our PDM data models out of PD so they can be loaded into an MS Excel workbook.

I assumed this would be easy to accomplish by simply setting up a List Report with all the metadata properties I need. However I have issues getting the 2 date time metadata properties, Entity "Creation Date" and Entity "Modification Date", out of PD in a recognized date format.

Is there anyway to modify the date format for List Reports? Or possibly change the default date format?

Current Default Date Format in List Reports: Month-DD-YY HH:MM:SS (i.e. MS Excel does not recognize this format as valid date)

Preferred Date Format: MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS (or any MS recognized format).

Thanks!

I think it uses long date (and time) format set up in your operating system. Change it in windows and try the list report again.
