Hi team power users

  • My colleagues phone language is her own language.
  • When they submit data, the 'Day' field comes through to Sharepoint in their language.
  • This then goes to Power Bi in their language

Question

  • Can Power Apps or Sharepoint change that field into English automatically?

 

Thanks

    @JerryH 

    You should be extracting the Day from the date rather than storing the actual text value of the Day.

    Your Day formula then would simply be: Text(ThisItem.theDate, "dddd")

    This would then show as Saturday for those bringing it up in English and sâmbătă for those bringing it up in Romanian.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    HI Randy, 

    I accepted solution of:  Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "dddd"), however the Day field still comes through into Sharepoint as Romanian.

    Do you have any other ideas?

    Thanks

    Jerry
