Hi @AbhishekC1725,

Have you tried to format the control to Date/Time in the Presentation Tab?

@AbhishekC1725 Hi Abhishek, you have mentioned about the data page but did not mention the source of DP. Assuming that it is a report definition. There is a option that you can use in the data page as a response data transform. Use the DT to loop over the results from the report. Use the function @DateTime.FormatDateTime(.pxCreateDateTime,“MM/dd/YYYY”,null,null) to convert into required format (07/04/2022) in the loop.

If the source is a data transform/activity, you can do the same logic in this also. It will work.
