How to Display Custom Date Format "dd/mmm/yyyy" in Classic Date Picker Control?

Posted on by CU05080924-4

I'm using the classic Date Picker control (DatePickerCanvas) in Power Apps, and I want to display the selected date in a custom format like "dd/mmm/yyyy" (e.g., 21/Aug/2025). I’ve tried using:

Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "[$-en-US]dd/mmm/yyyy")

and also:

Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "dd") & "/" & Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "mmm") & "/" & Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "yyyy")

But neither seems to work correctly. The output doesn't match the expected format. Is there a reliable way to achieve this in Power Apps, or is this a known limitation?

Only below Format are available date 'DatePickerCanvas.Format'.Short ,'DatePickerCanvas.Format'.LongAbbreviated and 'DatePickerCanvas.Format'.YearMonth,

Any help or workaround would be appreciated!

Hi,

- The DatePicker control can only render its own built‑in formats (Short/LongAbbreviated/YearMonth). Use the control only for selection, then display the formatted value in a separate Label/ext input.

- Set the Label’s Text to:

Text(DatePickerCanvas.SelectedDate, "dd/mmm/yyyy") //if showing on label Text(ThisItem.Date,"[$-en-US]dd/mm/yyyy") //if showing inside form control, display form

Prevent locale auto-conversion:

Text(DatePickerCanvas.SelectedDate, "dd/mmm/yyyy", "en-US") //if showing directly into label from datepicker
