Posted on by GT-05111229-0

I have a power app connected to MS list which shows dates in DD/MM/YYYY. Within power apps i select dates using date pickers. I want to be able to see my dates within the table as dd/mm/YYYY.

There are fields for DateOnlyFormat and DateTimeFormat where you can change to None, ShortDateTime and ShortDate.

Copiltot suggested using this but hasnt worked

Text('PowerAppsOneGrid.DateOnlyFormat', "dd/mm/yyyy")

Any ideas if it is possible to change the date format presented in the table?

The table generally picks up whatever your browser or device settings are.

To change them in Modern table, you might need to update your data first.

So, you will use addcolumns command to format your date field to the type that you want and then display in the table control.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi GT-05111229-0

At present, the modern table control doesn't appear to support date formats other than mm/dd/yyyy. My browser language is setup for UK and the control doesn't apply the dd/mm/yyyy format.

The workaround is to modify the Items property of your table control and to add formatted columns by calling the AddColumn function. The syntax would look like this.

AddColumns( YourSharePointList, EngagmentDateFormatted, Text(EngagmentDate, "dd/mm/yyyy", AdvertDateFormatted, Text(AdvertDate, "dd/mm/yyyy" )

You can then go to the Fields section of the table control editor add these XXXFormatted columns.
