Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello,

I try to make a report and the date format is: Mon 8-1. I would like 1-8--2016.

In Primavera itself it shows OK.

How can I change the format in the report.

If acceptable for you try exporting the report to Excel and change the cell format to whatever you need. You can go cell by cell, use range of cells or use ASAP Utilities [free for non-commercial users].

almost any report can be reproduced in the data table where you can change the date format

Zoltan, thank you for your answer. This does however not work for the reports. There it does not use the user preferences
