Date Formatting
Does anyone know a way to switch the date format to dd/MM/yyyy in Forms? We have numerous business uses for Forms, and have signed up for the Forms Pro preview, but not being able to change the date...
- Hi!
There are multiple uservoices open for this here including

Would recommend you vote for them - fast becoming one of the top requests and annoyances about Forms. I think Microsoft will pick this up in time.
Hope that answers your question!

I have a similar issue, all browser settings are to UK, all site settings are to UK and though the front-end form reads DD/MM/YYYY, the excel export is MM/DD/YYYY - very frustrating, and totally unacceptable - no such issues exist with google forms... With no clear solution to this basic yet pretty fundamental issue, it looks like we may have to re-consider what we use going forwards.
Just another example of how Google is "Edge"ing MS out of the cloud-based solutions market I guess.
