Keep date format when using reporting tools

Hi Community,

 

In the attached sample workflow, I have fields ID, Date and Name within the text input. I'm using the "table" tool then the "render" tool to create a temporary excel file. 

 

Is there a way to keep date formats without converting them to string?

 

In a real scenario, I would give my users the ability to filter on dates. When the date field is converted to string, each date needs to be filtered separately. Alternatively, they would need to convert the string to date themselves which is an extra step I want to avoid. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
