Rename, Move, & Copy Files - [Date] help please
« on: January 05, 2025, 09:43:08 am »
Rename, Move, & Copy Files

Filename
Rule : [Date]
gives me horrid underscore separators such as 05_01_2025

How can I specify my chosen Date Format please.
Such as 5 Jan 2025, or perhaps 20250105
Thank you,

Hello Matt,
thanks for the pointer.
Sorry to say my head does not understand the IT jargon on that page.
I simply require a [Date] without underscores please, even spaces instead of horrid underscores will do.
thanks,

You will need something like
=formatdate([date modified,0], dd MMM yyyy), replace date modified with whichever date field you need.
