Date format in PVA

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

Hi,

 

I am creating a PVA where by the UK user requests holiday cover. I have a Date question and then the date is shown in a message for the user to check they have inputted the correct date.

 

For context, UK dates are dd/MM/yyyy. PVA seems to be set up to automatically change a date input to the US format: MM/dd/yyyy. 

 

If the UK user inputs 01/03/2023 (1st March 2023), PVA returns a date of 03/01/2023 which to a UK user looks like 3rd January 2023.

 

However, if I put a date of 28/02/2023 (28th Feb 2023), PVA keeps that format (28/02/2023).

 

I have set up a Power Automate Flow that changes the input date to dd/MM/yyyy, but this doesn't work as it still presumes that the input date is MM/dd/yyyy and so I am back to square 1!

 

Can anyone help me to ensure that PVA understands that the input date is dd/MM/yyyy not MM/dd/yyyy?

    Hi @stanswell84,

     

    Can you share a screenshot of your Power Automate cloud flow? What are you using to change the format?

     

    Normally you can use a parsedatetime and/or formatdatetime functions for this. Below is an example of that approach:
