Hi,

In Apex, you can achieve the same by converting datetime values to date.
DateTime dT = System.now();
Date myDate = date.newinstance(dT.year(), dT.month(), dT.day());

OR you can use Function DATEVALUE, Like:
DATEVALUE(startdate__c);

Hope this helps. Kindly mark as Solved if this resolves your issue.

If you use outputField, It will be formatted automatically as per the user time zone else please follow the below link on formatting the date in visualforce page -

I believe you are talking about VisualForce Page.

Use following code, to get only date 
<apex:outputText value="{0, DATE, MMM dd',' yyyy}">
    <apex:param value="{!objectVariableName.startdate__c}"/>
</apex:outputText>
variation: 
<apex:outputText value="{0, DATE, dd'/'MM'/' yyyy}">
    <apex:param value="{!objectVariableName.startdate__c}"/>
</apex:outputText>

replace objectVariableName with actual sObject name.

Hi Kiran,

I have used apex:outputText for formatting on VF pages. It works well.

<apex:page>
2   <apex:outputText value="The unformatted time right now is: {!NOW()}" />
3   <br/>
4   <apex:outputText value="The formatted time right now is:
5         {0,date,yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss z}">
6       <apex:param value="{!NOW()}" />
7   </apex:outputText>
8</apex:page>

Hope this helps.

Hi kiran punuru,

If we convert Date field to string it will remove time string from date and we can use same string in query. This looks simple to me.

Thanks,
