The ''Date'' data type consists of a sequence that represents a date with day, month and year with numbers and separators (ex.: 01/01/2013 or 2013/01/01).

In many places like when [[Adding Columns to an Object|adding a date column to an object]] or creating [[Filters|filters]] it's possible to select a date part (YEAR, MONTH, DAY, TRIMESTER, ...) or combinations between them to be used.

The data type of a column is defined in the data source creation, see [[Input Data Format]].
