Halo, I need help to display only year form a full date on a label, When i
use
format-date(2021-09-30, %Y)
It is displayed as is on the label. no formatting is done.
How can i get it to display 2021 instead of the full date on the label
Hi Mark. In order to display a formatted date in a label, you need to place
that expression inside an tag, and surround the formatting
argument in quotes. In addition, the first argument to the format-date()
function needs to be a date, rather than a string, so something like
today() or date('2021-09-30') or the path to a date question type in your
form.
So for your case, the following should work:
However, it's worth noting that if you already know the specific date you
want to display, you could simplify things and just write the string '2021'
as the label directly. That's all that the above expression will do
currently.
You can read the full documentation for the date() and format-date()
functions here:
