How to Format Date of a Timeline - Interval Shape?

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Is it possible to format the date for the intervals on a timeline as follows
(Swiss German Format)?

Mi. 12.11.2008

I' ve configured the Date format manually under -> Define -> Define Shape
Data like this:
((ddd. dd.MM.yyyy))

But it doesnt work... ? :-(

Thanks, Andi

That part of the date format is case sensitive, upper case is used to
specify the day name
try ((DDD. dd.MM.yyyy))

You can set this date field in the Timeline's User-defined cells in
the shap's shapesheet.

Unfortunately it doesn't work - on the "Shape Data Dialog", the date format
is shown correctly (with the day of week). But on the timline/interval the
day of the week will not be displayed?

No, it won't work from the Shape Data dialog. Read the last line of my
response, that's where you set the date format.
