I am trying to display a date in a metric on a dashboard, all the sheets have the date displaying DD/MMM/YYYY but the metric displays DD/MM/YY. How do I get the metric to display the date in the format that I desire?
Hi,
Currently the functionality of the Metric widget will display dates based on your personal regional settings, versus the date format you set up in the sheet. Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment!
As an alternative, you may want to use a Title or Rich Text widget to type in the date. If there are multiple cells you were looking to display along with the date cells, another option would be to create a report for those specific details and then display that in your dashboard with a Report widget.
Thanks,
Genevieve

Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
