Posted on by Lars1990

Hi all,

I am trying to change the date format of a date picker field in Powerapps in Teams. I tried these two methods:

- Change the ContectLanguage property from "" to "nl-NL"

- Change the value property from Parent.Default to Text(Parent.Default, "dd/mm/yyyy")

Unfortunatly this doe not work.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

KR,

Lars

Hi,

Unfortunatly not. For Powerapps in teams there is no format property for a datepicker. Only the properties value and ContentLanguage look like they might be able to change the format.

Out of interest: is there a reason why you don't develop the app in make.powerapps.com?
I never knew there was another environment to develop powerapps.

Yes, the reason is because the app will be integrated in Microsoft Teams. I can publish it within a channel in Teams so it is very easy to find and use for my colleagues.

Hmm... I publish my apps in teams channels, too. And I created them in the environment of make.powerapps.com
So, maybe that would work for you, too.

Hi @Lars1990,

Do you want to format the date picker selected date in PowerAppsForTeams?

If so, I think you should enable the Classic controls.

1). Go to Settings icon and select Experimental tab, enable the Classic controls.

2. Select the DatePicker control from the Classic tab.

3). Then you could find the Format property of the DatePicker as it is in the power apps studio.

Hope it could help you.

That does work indeed! However it is a shame that I have to replace all date pickers. And also the "new" date picker looks a litte nicer and has some other options like showing weeknumbers etc.

So it is not possible for the "new" date picker?

Hope that Microsoft soon will add this functionallity

The datepicker control (and others) in PA for Teams is quite limited compared to the regular PA version unfortunately.

If you don't have to use PA for Teams for licensing reasons (i.e. using Dataverse for Teams), I would suggest to use regular PA and publish to Teams from there. You can just select all controls from a screen and copy-paste them to a new app, so converting it shouldn't be much effort unless you have loads of connectors/flows in your app.

Hi @Lars1990,

Do you want to format the date with a week number?

You could set the Format property as :

"dddd/dd/mm/yyyy"

Thanks so much - this solved a similar issue for me - I had been able to get the date function working but when I used the Pop Out feature on Powerapps In Teams it lost the date formatting. This solution resolved my issue. Thanks and have a great week!
