1-method

change the date format as 

SET DateFormat='M/D/YYYY';

 

2-METHOD

use 

DATE("date",'M/D/YYYY') AS "date"

Or you can try changing the setting on the Main section to the date time format you require

SET DateFormat='DD/MM/YYYY';
SET TimestampFormat='DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss[.fff]';

 

You may also need to check the settings on 

SET CollationLocale='en-GB'; is set to your requirements, it can default to en-US

you can set the date either in load editor or via the expression in the sheet option. 

I have done personally in sheet as per below. consider my date column in MyDate. 

Date(MyDate,'DD-MMM-YYYY'). text between the quotes -- 'DD-MMM-YYYY' you can change to any format. This way you can retain the date format same as the excel.

So neither option has worked for you. What does your Load Script look like? Or did you make changes in the Chart Script?

Hi @Vikash2024 

In the back end (Script load editor) 

Load the date using the following

 

Load 

xx, 

xxxx, 

xxxxx, 

Date( Date#( YourDateField, 'DD-MM-YYYY'), 'DD-MM-YYYY') as FormattedDate
From ....
