What's the error?

there's no error being thrown I just need the dates to be formatted mm/dd/yy in the excel report
Oh, it sounded like it was crashing: "I'm getting an error when I try to use it the same way ".
It should work the exact same way. If you need a two digit year, try:
#queueData.dateFormat(ente
instead of:
#queueData.dateFormat(ente

Good catch. I was too focused on the date mask ;-) Though that syntax would trigger an error, so next time please be sure to accurately describe the problem and include the error message.
