DATEFORMAT

Report Writer can be used to prepare reports based on Date type members. Format directives that apply to numeric values also apply to Date type values. The {DATEFORMAT} format directive formats all the output cells based on the Essbase outline’s date format string.

Report Writer post-processing commands that operate on numeric data, such as RESTRICT, TOP, BOTTOM and SORT, will operate on internal numeric date values.

Syntax

{ DATEFORMAT "string" }

Parameters

"string": One of the date format strings supported by Essbase.
