Hi @Anonymous ,

You can create another new calculated column as below to format with the expected date format as below and apply this new column on the Play Axis as below screenshot. Please find the details in the attachment.

Hi,

Please see screenshot, where the Play Axis still shows a different format compared to the Date Tab (Short Date).

If I go to column tools, the date format is a Short Date.
