Question

I have the following sql query that returns the DateTime-formatted information in Month format like December or Novermber:

SELECT     COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.UserQuiz.QuizID) AS [Total Number of Taken Quizzes], dbo.Divisions.DivisionName, DATENAME(Month, dbo.UserQuiz.DateTimeComplete) 
                      AS Month
FROM         dbo.UserQuiz INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Quiz ON dbo.UserQuiz.QuizID = dbo.Quiz.QuizID INNER JOIN
                      dbo.employee ON dbo.UserQuiz.Username = dbo.employee.Username INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Divisions ON dbo.employee.DivisionCode = dbo.Divisions.SapCode
GROUP BY dbo.Divisions.DivisionName, DATENAME(Month, dbo.UserQuiz.DateTimeComplete)

I want just to get the date in whatever format such as: mm-dd-yyyy. How to do that?

SELECT     COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.UserQuiz.QuizID) AS [Total Number of Taken Quizzes], dbo.Divisions.DivisionName, convert(varchar,dbo.UserQuiz.DateTimeComplete,110 ) 
                      AS Month
FROM         dbo.UserQuiz INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Quiz ON dbo.UserQuiz.QuizID = dbo.Quiz.QuizID INNER JOIN
                      dbo.employee ON dbo.UserQuiz.Username = dbo.employee.Username INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Divisions ON dbo.employee.DivisionCode = dbo.Divisions.SapCode
GROUP BY dbo.Divisions.DivisionName,convert(varchar,dbo.UserQuiz.DateTimeComplete,110)
