2. Add the date field you want to format to the “Results” tab
3. To format the date field, click on the date field you added to the “Results” tab.
4. In the “Formula” field, use the TO_CHAR function to format the date field in ‘yyyy-mm-dd’ format. The TO_CHAR function is used to convert a date to a specific string format.
5. Here’s an example of what the formula would look like: TO_CHAR({your_date_field}, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
6. Replace {your_date_field} with the actual name of your date field. The format string ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ specifies the ‘yyyy-mm-dd’ format.
