Snippet date format

Question

I am trying to change the date format of a model field on snippet to MMDDYYYY. Is there a formating method allows me to do like this.

Kumar, I would recommend using a UI-Only formula field instead…no need for a snippet to do that.

In your formula, use the following function

FORMAT_DATE( “mmddyy”,{{Your_Date_Field_Here__c}} )

I use that formula all the time with various date formats (see date formatting options here), for example:

FORMAT_DATE(“MM d, yy” , {{Your_Date_Field_Here__c}} )

FORMAT_TIME formula is also great in case you want to display a datetime field in a very reader-friendly manner, for example:

FORMAT_TIME(“h:mm a”,{{Your_Datetime_Field_Here__c}})
