This is not a bug. This is a limitation into the RadPivtoGrid – there is not property for formatting the text into the FilterWindow’s ListBox items. The PivtoGrid fields’s DataFormatString is applied over the calculated fields not on the FilterWindow’s ListBox items. A possible workaround here is to handle the RadPivotGrid.FilterWindow.SetBox.ItemCreated event and to format the text manually: protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { base.OnInit(e); RadPivotGrid1.FilterWindow.SetBox.ItemCreated += SetBox_ItemCreated; } void SetBox_ItemCreated(object sender, RadListBoxItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.Value != "SelectAll" && RadPivotGrid1.FilterWindow.IsReportFilter) { e.Item.Text = String.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", Convert.ToDateTime(e.Item.Text)); } }
