Date Time ( 29/06/2015 hh:mm:ss AM )to Date (29 Jun 2015) format in Universe

Hi All,

Is there a way to convert DateTime ( 29/06/2015 hh:mm:ss A ) to 29 Jun 2015 in universe.

I am aware of Object format in universe. But I want other method of converting to Date ( dd Mmm yyyy ) format in the universe.

It would be great if the answer is provided for both Oracle and Sql Server DB's.

The main agenda behind my requirement is when I am exporting the wei report to excel the date is showing as Custom when defined using object format in universe and text format when using formatDate in webi.

so, I need date format (dd Mmm yyyy) iin universe itself.

Thanks,

Santhosh.
