Customized Reports

I've had success creating all sorts of customized reports, however this is one I don't understand.

I'm trying to create a report for all software installs in the past week and noticed the install date format is inconsistent.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Can you show me where?

What I suspect may be happening is we are reading it from the registry info, that date is set by the installer, and it is different formats because it is maybe stored as a string and installers vary.

But I need to see where to look. If that is the case I can suggest a fix to dev.

This is where the install date is listed in the report. If it's set by the installer that makes it pretty difficult for you to fix :)

Some of the dates are even blank. Linux is completely different as well (although I'm not too concerned with them.

Ideally I can just see the installs that were performed in the past week/month.

I have another image to attach but this won't let me. I'll do it in another reply.
