Hi,
I have a date formatted line item (example: 4/1/2020) - this is in mm/dd/yyyy format
However, i want to show as 1 April 2020 or 1 Apr 2020.
How do I do that?
To create the name of the month you need create a new list for the months of the year. Use the month number as the code and map your month number in you module to the code in the new list using FINDITEM.
To combine them into a single line item convert you items into TEXT format and concatenate them using "&" to separate each source line item.
Good luck,
Hi @Kayley
To achieve the display with month name,
Create a list (Eg. Month) with month number, code should also be month number
Add a property to the list for month name (Eg. Month Name)
In the module create line item to refer to month using FINDITEM() and LOOKUP()
Concatenate the results (date, month name, year) as per desired format using &
Sample attached below with formula,
Month (List) : FINDITEM(Month, TEXT(MONTH(Date)))
Month Name : Month.Month Name[LOOKUP : Month (List)]
Date (Text) : TEXT(DAY(Date)) & " " & Month Name & " " & TEXT(YEAR(Date))
Thanks,

this is too complex for this.
You can achieve it faster with this:
The date format in Anaplan is presented based on user browser settings, which would either be represented as DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY.
However, to represent the date in any other format apart from the above such as DD MMM YYYY, a separate line item formatted as text can be created with custom formula referencing date line item to achieve the same.
Thanks
Hi @Nithya
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, i have created a separator to identify the Day, Month and Year as per image below. However, i'm not sure how to change the numeric month 4, to April and I'm not sure how to combine the day month and year together in a line item, so that it read 1 April 2020.
Hi @nathan_rudman , @Nithya , @ChrisAHeathcote
Thank you so much all for your solutions! It works now! 😁
@Kayley
@nathan_rudman solution is the best as it will perform the best (less concatenations, no lookup, all around better for Hyperblock) and it is easy to follow for other model builders.
@nathan_rudman
A nice simple solution. As a solutions should be!
Bravo!
How do you change them in Chrome? I've tried change them but it doesn't work
In Chrome you can change the following - how dates are displayed depending on the regional settings of a default UI language:
you have M/D/Y option for English (US) and D/M/Y for English (UK).
Go in Chrome into … → Settings - > Languages →
The result of my setting is that I now see dates in Anaplan as M/D/Y
Hello folks, Does anyone know how to work around the Polaris limitation of using the Formula or Ratio summary method alongside the Closing Balance within the same line item?

Hello community, I have an issue with anaplan report (functionality). The issue I have is within couple of slides. The data in that report is scrolling into a new page. There is a hierarchy in the rows and line items and time in the columns. My problem is, the hierarchy is getting broken in the second page. One of the node…
