How to stop Time data being appended to Today() (powerapps and excel) - datetime

I am trying to use powerapps to create a submission form for users.
The issue is that I have one field for submission date.
All I want is the short date added to the table column when the user clicks submit.
What I get is the shortdate with
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSOZ
I have tried:
Text(Today(), "[%-en-US]YYYY-MM-DD")
Text(Today(), DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)
Left(Text(Today(), "[%-en-US]YYYY-MM-DD"),10)
Left(Text(Today(), DateTimeFormat.ShortDate),10)
I have tried setting the excel table field to "Text"
I have tried setting it back to date and using just the short date without conversion.
Is there any end to this madness?
Thanks!

Text(Today(),DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)

This should do the trick;
DateValue(Text(Now()))

How to change date format in Email Template of Dynamics365?

I want to get the date in this format -
MM-dd-yy.
For example: 10-12-23
I'm writing this code but don't getting the desired solution -
{<entity_name>:<attribute>/#date;} Check-In Link
What should I write in the date part?
I'm afraid the only way to make it work is to set the user's locale to a locale that uses MM-dd-yy format.
Alternatively, it's possible to create a custom string field, populate that field with a properly formatted date and use the value of it in your template.

Drupal 7 Wrong Timestamp showing up in a custom view instead of what is there in the database table

I have a view created in a drupal 7 to display the data fields from a table in the database and one of the fields is date_entered which is a timestamp. But the data in the timestamp field shows up as same for each record as " 1969/12/31 - 19:33" instead of what's there in the table.
I have tried changing the timestamp format and applying a patch to fix the issue but nothing seems to fix this.
Do u use the date module? It solves all date and timestamp issues.
Found a work around, i created a hidden field using date module and used the default site format to populate the hidden field and used the array while doing the submit db insert which in turn populates the data base table with the current date of submission and used that date field in the view to display the date instead of the complete timestamp.

Get Date Value as DD/MM/YYYY from database

I am using the "[Datatype(Datatype.date)" data annotation for allowing the user to select the date and it's selected in this format, "DD/MM/YYYY".
However, the date is sent backwards to the database. The image below illustrates this.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Correct date selected
Backwards date sent to data
Ended off using Moment which is amazing at formatting dates.

Google Docs Forms - need Pre-fill Date & Time Entry with current date and current time

Google Forms I need Pre-filled current Date & current Time Entry in date and time fields of my google form. How to do it
My solution is to make the Date field optional. The default is to assume the todays date which is what you get from the timestamp field. In case it needs to be anything else you can enter it manually.
A simple code-free solution is to make separate sections in your form and use the feature that routes users to different sections based on responses. The first section asks whether the form is for the current date/time. If yes, you use the timestamp as the date and time and route the user to the main section with your questions. If not, route them to a section to set the date and time, and then after that route them to the main section.
2023 Solution
-Google Forms has updated how dates are passed through URL parameters.
Instead of passing each component of a date as a separate param, you now pass them using the same syntax as all other fields using the YYYY-MM-DD format for your date value.
Here is an example URL:
`https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/${formId}/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.${dateEntryFieldID}=${YEAR}-${MONTH}-${DAY}`

MS InfoPath: How do you populate a date box by using a function? Mostly a formatting date issue

This might be a simple question. But I am trying to use a rule in an InfoPath field where if a user enters a certain value in a text box, a date box will populate with a certain date.
Example: User enters "Orange" in the Textbox1 field. Datefield1 should populate with 11/30/2010.
The problem is I have no idea how to setup/format the date in the rule box. See picture for details.
InfoPath marks the format as invalid. I've tried 2011-Nov-30, 30-Nov-2011, and a few more. Any ideas?
It has to be the date format yyyy-mm-dd ("2010-01-01"). Alternatively you can use the date function today() if it is always going to be the current date.
