Issue Summary

This looks ugly. Since we're formatting date in other visualization it feels better to do something about this as well. I do realized that we are using pivottable.js. Not sure yet if this is their feature.

Technical details:

  • Redash Version: v4.0.0-beta (570187fc1f96d336ed63088c83efc1c56298a7cb)
  • Browser/OS: Firefox
  • How did you install Redash: Docker

Research direction
Research the pivottable.js library documentation for datetime formatting options (e.g., using 'rendererOptions' or custom aggregators). Examine the Redash pivot table visualization source code (likely in `rd ui/app/visualizations/pivot/`) to understand how dates are currently rendered. Check the issue comments for any suggested date formats or prior discussion on desired behavior.
