Dates and times
Time zones
Each Coda doc has can have its own time zone. To learn all about changing the time zone for your docs or for your Coda account, check out this article.
Date formats
Different parts of the world use different date formats. For all date (and date time) columns in your doc, you can choose the date format that makes the most sense for you and your team.
To update your date or time format for a column, follow these steps:
Right-click on the column header
Select Edit column
Click into the Date format field, and choose from the available options
That’s it! That column is now updated. Any connected views will also show that updated format. But you will need to repeat the process for each column and each base table.
Currency
Just like the date and time, you'll customize the currency columns in your doc to match whatever type of currency you need. To do so, just follow these steps:
Right-click on the column header of your currency column
Choose Column options
Click into the Symbol field, and choose from the available options
Now all values in that column should automatically show your selected currency symbol. At this time, you’ll have to manually adjust this setting for each new currency column you create.
