how to change planner date format from usa MM/dd/YYYY to hebrew dd/MM/yyyy

Answer 1

Hello Amir Kalderon,

Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Q&A forum

I understand that you’re trying to change Planner’s date format from the U.S. style (MM/dd/yyyy) to the Hebrew format (dd/MM/yyyy).

The date format in Microsoft Planner can’t be changed inside Planner itself. Planner always follows the region and date format of your Microsoft 365 account.

To switch from MM/dd/yyyy to dd/MM/yyyy (Hebrew), you need to update your Microsoft 365 language & region settings. Here’s how:

1. Go to your account > click your profile picture > View account.
2. Open Settings & Privacy > Language & Region.
3. Under Region, choose a region that uses dd/MM/yyyy (e.g., Israel).
4. Save the changes and sign out/sign in.

After this, Planner will automatically display dates in dd/MM/yyyy.

Hope this helps

To change the date format in Microsoft Planner or similar applications, you typically need to adjust the regional settings of your account or the application itself. However, the specific steps can vary depending on the application and its capabilities. Here are general steps you might consider:

1. Check Regional Settings: Go to your account settings or application settings and look for an option related to regional or language settings. Change the region to Hebrew or set the date format to dd/MM/yyyy if available.
2. Use Custom Formats: If the application allows, you may be able to specify a custom date format. Look for options that let you define how dates are displayed.
3. Consult Documentation: If the application has specific documentation or support resources, check there for any guidelines on changing date formats.

Unfortunately, the specific context provided does not detail how to change date formats in Planner directly, but these general steps should guide you in the right direction.
