Use this interactive demo to learn how to set and customize date columns in Coda tables.

Quick summary

Formatting dates in Coda lets you standardize how date data appears across your tables by changing the column type to Date or Date and Time. This ensures consistent, structured date entries that are easy to sort, filter, and read.


Steps

  1. Open a document in Coda.
  2. Click on the column header in your table.
  3. Select Column type from the column settings menu.
  4. Click Date from the list of available column types.
  5. Choose Date or Date and Time based on your needs.
  6. Once the column type is set, customize the date format to match your preferred display style.

📌 Why this matters

Proper date formatting in Coda is essential for teams that rely on structured data to manage projects, track deadlines, and build workflows. By setting a column's type to Date or Date and Time, users ensure that entries are consistently formatted, sortable, and compatible with Coda's formulas and automations. This removes ambiguity from date data and makes tables significantly easier to filter, analyze, and share across teams. For anyone building databases or dashboards in Coda, mastering date column formatting is a foundational step toward cleaner, more reliable documentation.
