Wasp Labeler User Manual

Custom Date and Time Formatting (DATEFORMAT Command)

Labeler always stores date as DateTime format. This means that if you have a column in your data that
is just a date, Labeler will add the default time of 12:00:00 AM to it. If you do not want to show the time
on your label, use the DATEFORMAT function described below.
