Taking Filter Input from Calendar Interface

Hi Team,

 

I'm trying to take a filter input from user where the user will select the date from Calendar interface and the workflow will filter the entered date from the database and give the extract. Now the problem here is, my database has the dates in mm-dd-yyyy format while the Calendar Interface enters the date in yyyy-mm-dd. Hence its not filtering out any records.

 

Any workaround to enter the date in mm-dd-yyyy format through Calendar interface? 

 

Thanks in Advance!

Hi @hemant86 

 

You won't directly be able to use it. Instead generate the date in a formula tool and pass it to a dynamic input tool SQL where clause to read.
