Hi,

Request is to change the format of the date in a drop down list.

The items property of the dropdown list is :

SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        'Company Vehicle FBT Returns',
        Driver = drpDriver.SelectedText.Value
    ),
    "FBTReturnPeriod",
    SortOrder.Descending
)
 
The dropdown list looks like this :
 
I need the date to be formatted as "dd/mm/yyyy".  So : 8/31/2024 should display as 31/8/2024.
 
I have tried 
For All function, but this produces duplicates as well as distinct.  Nothing seems to work.
 
Anyone have a solution?
 
Kind regards

Can you try something like below?
SortByColumns( Text(Filter( 'Company Vehicle FBT Returns', Driver = drpDriver.SelectedText.Value ),'dd/MM/yyy'), "FBTReturnPeriod", SortOrder.Descending )

Hi

You could use an AddColumns, where the new column would be the column that you would Format the other column into the Format you want

This would allow you to Pick this New Column to show in the dropdown versus the original

Please Check this out.

and in the New Column you can use Text(YourColumn, "dd/mm/yyyy") or whatever you want.
