is `billDetail.invoiceDate` a date object or string.. also there is no `.format()` function for date object... you need to use some third party libraries to do that — Arun P Johny, Nov 25 '14 at 08:31

Just use the getDate() and getMonth() Date Object Methods :

Your billDetail.invoiceDate is a String so make it a Date then manage it.

var d = new Date(billDetail.invoiceDate);
var dat = d.getDate()+"-"+parseInt(d.getMonth()+1);

This is the working fiddle.

That should do it.

Bear in mind that JavaScript months are 0-indexed, whilst days are 1-indexed. – chridam Nov 25 '14 at 08:43
Showing `Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function` – xrcwrn Nov 25 '14 at 08:44
@chridam Yes, in fact you are right I edited the code. – cнŝdk Nov 25 '14 at 08:44
@xrcwrn: it's working, take a look at [this working fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/ktfLtunL/2/), maybe your `billDetail.invoiceDate` is not correct – cнŝdk Nov 25 '14 at 08:48
My console log is `ObjectbillDetails: Array[18]0: ObjectinvoiceDate: "2014-11-25T00:00:00"totalAmount: 1545totalBills: 4` – xrcwrn Nov 25 '14 at 08:53
Yes your fiddle code is working please see what is the problem with my data edited in question – xrcwrn Nov 25 '14 at 08:53
@xrcwrn I see, the problem is that it's a String and not a Date take a look at my Edit. – cнŝdk Nov 25 '14 at 09:27
@xrcwrn Great, glad it helps. – cнŝdk Nov 25 '14 at 09:51
