hi, there are two ways to change date format in cognos....
1) In Query Studio right click on Date key and select the Data format ... Select Format type = "Date" In Right Side u will get different formats of date.. there u can select the Format type and click ok and then run the report
2) In Report Studio, right click on Date key and select Format type is "Date" and right side, display the properties... in Properties select the Date Ordering.. in drop down u will get date formats, select and click ok.. now run the report
