Hi @soniasweety 

if Qlik already identify the field as a date, you only have to set the desired format

=date(OrderDate,'DD/MM/YYYY')

 

While if qlik identify the field as something else you will need to tell to qlik what is it and then change to the desired format

=date(date#(OrderDate,'YYYY-DD-MM'),'DD/MM/YYYY')

 

you can tell if it is a date field or not by using the field in a filter pane

if values are aligned to right, its a date

while if aligned to left it would be a text field.

 

hope it helps
