I've lost the month in this date format - any suggestions?

(not a lot to go on in the help here)

Thanks @Nigel Light

    This question comes up quite a bit, so here's the full list of letters used in the date and time patterns, and what they mean:

    • G: Era designator (AD)
    • y: Year (1996, 96)
    • Y: Week year (2009, 09)
    • M: Month in year (July, Jul, 07)
    • w: Week in year
    • W: Week in month
    • D: Day in year
    • d: Day in month
    • F: Day of week in month
    • E: Day name in week (Tuesday, Tue)
    • a: Am/pm marker
    • H: Hour in day (0-23)
    • k: Hour in day (1-24)
    • K: Hour in am/pm (0-11)
    • h: Hour in am/pm (1-12)
    • m: Minute in hour
    • s: Second in minute
    • S: Millisecond

    Pattern letters can often be repeated, and the number determines the exact presentation. For example:

    • E will display "Tue", EEEE will display "Tuesday"
    • M will display "7", MM "07", MMM "Jul", and MMMM "July"
    • y will display "2020", yy "20"

    Text can be added using single quotes ('):

    • yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS will display 2020-11-10T13:20:19.124

    @Steve FarrSuggestion that this should this be added to the User Help screens for the product as I am pretty sure it isn't available (I couldn't find it anyway, though I do have previous by failing to find the tomato sauce in the kitchen cupboard even when it was right in front of me!)
