How to Change Date Format in SharePoint 2013

Hello SharePointers,

In today’s world, Business/Power Users can access SharePoint anywhere in the world. In SharePoint 2013, Date format is very different from what we have it in SharePoint 2010. There are two types of Date format available in SharePoint 2013.

1. Standard

2.Friendly

You have to Navigate to Column Setting of the Particular date column. From Display Format you can choose either Standard or Friendly. Friendly Format gives the same feel of SharePoint 2010. In the above example, we can change the display format at SharePoint library/List level.

If you want to do it at site level then we have to change Regional Settings on the My Site in SharePoint 2013. Regional Settings on My Sites are used to change the Date and Time format on a page based on the country and time zone I will elaborate you all how to change the Regional Settings on My Sites in SharePoint 2013.
