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

    Since you can no longer access the classic interface to do this, the better option is to update the Text property for the datacard. It will default to something like:
    ThisItem.Date
     
    Click in the function box and type:
    Text(ThisItem.Date,"dd/mm/yyyy")
    You can also use other date formats, like "dd mmm yy" which will display as 20 Sep 2024
     
     
    Cheers, Graeme_NZ

    Another 'classic' example (pardon the pun) where Microsoft provide you with a really cool app but don't quite get the little bits right. I mean, why on earth would you not have a format property on the datepicker? Maybe I'm missing something technically important but it shouldn't be this hard to get the right format you want. Besides the whole international date zone thing, what if you wanted to show it like Mon, 4th May or even May 4th? Stupid. 🙂

    I have found a working solution (workaround?) as none of the ones suggested here worked for me or exist in the current version of Power Apps.

     

    Go to Settings > Upcoming features and enable the preview "Modern controls and themes" feature. When inserting controls there will now be a Classic and Modern tab. Add the "Date picker" control from the Modern tab and change the format to LongAbbreviated, which will display dates as "4 Oct 2023" instead of "11/4/2023"

     

    Pretty annoying that such a basic feature was removed and a preview feature has to be used as a workaround. Microsoft, not everyone lives in the US...

    It's all in the name - "Power" Apps. It baffles me that Microsoft has the audacity to call it such.

    Still baffled that in 2023 you still cannot do something so simple in PA for Teams. If everybody suggests to use make.powerapps.com or the classic controls, why does Ms than even bother to have a PA for Teams environment.

     

    And nice to see that there are workarounds, but this really should be standard functionality IMHO in this time and age.

    Hello,

     

    I'm unable to find the classic controls toggle button under the Experimental tab in Upcoming features.

     

    I'm trying update the date field for a date column I'm pulling in from SharePoint.

    @AndrewS I used the 'Teams' datepicker in a Canvas app outside Teams, to format the displayed date I used a label on top of the datepicker showing the formatted Date as wanted using Text(DataCardValueXX.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy").

    The Label is just masking the datepicker so NoOneKnows.
