    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi ,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a couple of date dimensions as below in a straight table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Calculated Dimension: Date1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;=if([X.Payment Date]&amp;gt;=vDateStart,if([X.Payment Date]&amp;lt;=vDateEnd,[X.Payment Date])) and&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Date2:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;date([Y.Invoice Date], 'DD/MM/YYYY').&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I download the data in excel, the dates are no longer retained as Date format. Although it looks like a date e.g.02/12/2020 but can not be sorted in the excel as it seems to be working like number.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can you please suggest how to retain the date format after downloading in excel?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ankhi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
