      Hi,
      I have a DataCardValue that returns a date using Parent.Default and it displays in US format mm/dd/yyyy. I want the date to display in dd-mmm-yy. I have tried to wrap a Text function around the Parent.Default but nothing seems to work. Disclaimer… I am new to PowerApps but tried to find the answers before writing here. Any help is appreciated.

      regards Graham

      In the properties to the field there is a selction called Format.Ā  You should be able to “dd/mm/yyyy” in that box and it will change the format.Ā  This surmises that it is a date field.

      Hi Mark, thanks for your prompt response. Excuse my ignorance but I can’t find “Format” under “Properties” for the field??? See my screen shot. regards Graham

      Hi I finally found a way to do this as follows…
      Text(DateTimeValue(Parent.Default),”[$-en-GB]dd-mmm-yy”)
      regards Graham

      The Format property is in teh dropdown next to the Function box.Ā  If this is not a date field then there will be no option.
