I have found that if a column in a report displays a date that it does so according to the format specified in Global Settings / Date Formats / Complete Date, ie changing that to (for instance) "%E %b %Y" causes CiviReport to display all date values as (for example) "25 Nov 2011" (for today), but that means changing the Complete Date format universally for the whole CiviCRM installation (which may have undesirable consequences).

Is there a way to get CiviReport to use a different date format than Complete Date?  For instance in a specific date column in a specific report I might like the date to be formatted as per Month and Year - is there a way to do this?

Althernatively is there any other way to control the format that a specific report template displays dates?
Can anybody point me to some example code where something like this has been done before?

Thanks

Thanks Lobo

I had thought of the alterRow function of which I have some experience, but I have no idea how to do that in the smarty template.  Could someone give me a clue, or point me to where something like that has been done before, please?

Thanks
