Hi Folks

The default date format in powerapps seems to be mm/dd/yyyy even if your region is set locally in data source e.g. SharePoint.

I changed the format attribute to Text(DateTimeValue(Parent.Default), "dd-mm-yyyy" )

or even just "dd-mm-yyyy" works too

HOwever I also need to print this date in HTML control but it keeps the ShortDate format

I called my data value 'valPurchaseDate' and put it into the HTML control as "&valPurchaseDate&" or as "&valPurchaseDate.SelectedDate&"

and you dont get it format dd-mm-yyyy.

Any ideas how to get the format you want also into HTML ?

Thanks!

You would change that snippet of formula to this:

"& Text(valPurchaseDate.SelectedDate,"dd-mm-yyyy") &"
