Hi,

Off course.

For this porpouse, use the pattern field of your textfield. Set the class of the field to java.util.Date

and insert in the pattern field the string

 

mm/dd/yyyy (or dd/mm/yyyy)

right. thank you very much for the reply.

but text field pattern is not what i'm

looking for, i'm looking for the pattern for

the date format inside of the chart.

i want the category expession to be date, but it will show "2007-06-28 00:00:00.0".

that is too long for me, so that's why i want to change the format.

like the "category" on this chart. the best is to be diagonal, so it can show the whole date.

[jmurray]

new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").format($F{yourdatefield})

 

 

or preformat the date as a string in your source query like this oracle example:

 

 

select to_char(myDateField,'DD/MM/YYYY') as formattedDate ....

Select the field to which you want to format data.

Click on properties 

In properties, you will see a text field with a label called Pattern Expression

Write your format Ex: "dd/mm/yyyy"; OR  "mm/dd/yyyy"
