How to go for a format such as : 16th FEB’13 or 1st FEB’13

I’m not sure whether you want the month in capitals or the apostrophe after the month.
If you want the month in capitals, subtitute mmm with MMM.
If you want an apostrophe after the month, substitute the space after this statement:
Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/MMM/yyyy”);4;3));” “);
with an apostrophe:
Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/MMM/yyyy”);4;3));”‘”);
I’ve incorporated both changes in this formula:
=Concatenation(Concatenation(Concatenation(Concatenation(Concatenation(If(Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);1;1)=”0″;Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);2;1);Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);1;2));
If (Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);1;2) InList (“1″;”01″;”31″);”st”;
If (Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);1;2) InList (“2″;”02″);”nd”;
If (Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);1;2) InList (“3″;”03″);”rd”;”th”))));
” “);Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/MMM/yyyy”);4;3));”‘”);
Substr(FormatDate(CurrentDate();”dd/mm/yyyy”);7;4))

Please note that the last example you give of dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss will actually return the “date/minutes/year hour:minutes:seconds”. You need to make sure to have capital MM to show the month.

Does anyone know, how to change the language? I’d like to output the following string: “The current month in English is December an in German it’s Dezember”.

Can somebody help, I’ve formated date(Start) to “dd/mm/yyyy” but all months ruturns as zeros, what could the problem be?
