Customizing the Display Format of Dates in Excel

How can I set a custom date format mask specifically for the dates displayed in Blitz Report XLSX output files, independent of other Oracle profiles?

    You set the profile option ‘Blitz Report XLSX Date Format’. This allows you to define the date format mask for Blitz Report XLSX output files.

  • If I leave this profile unset, what format is used?

  • Support Enginatics

    If it is not set, the value from the standard Oracle profile ‘ICX: Date format mask’ is used.

  • If I need to force a long date format (full year and leading zero for day), is that a separate profile?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, you can enable the profile option ‘Blitz Report XLSX Use Long Date Format’ to show leading zeroes for the day and the full year.
