@ Ameet: Did you mean to say that you are unable to create the column with name ‘Custom Date’ if so no problem you can give any name which is available, but make sure that you have to choose the calculated column type and provide formula as mentioned in the post. In formula (=TEXT(Date,”dd Mmm, yyyy”) Date indicates the column name which has to be there in your list

Nice post! I created a dataview years ago so START TIME column can be formated to not display the time.

I use:
=TEXT([Start Time],”d/m/yyyy”)

However, there is a problem. If the time is 12:00 PM it reads as previous day.

For example:
It returns 7/20/2008 if the START TIME is 7/21/2008 12:00PM. Do you know how this could be fixed?
