Try to use Date(FieldName, 'DD/MM/YYYY')

Before develop something, think If placed (The Right information | To the right people | At the Right time | In the Right place | With the Right context)

Hello sir... Thanks for the assistance...

I used the script for the date in numeric format and I got my date field in DD/MM/YYYY

Date(Num#(Date)) as Date,...

but the challenge is  on my chart title... I used this expression... ='Sales Figures as at max(Date)'... to get the latest date...  It's showing me numbers not date

Use: date(max(Date))

Because Max() only works on numbers, not on dates, it will always return the numerical value that underlies your date. You will have to format it into a date again, just like Marcus says.
