Hi to all,
Picking dates from Excel y get this output YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ as you may see in the image.
I need to send an email with that date.
Any idea how to convert the format to DD-MM-YYYY without the time?
Don't know how to use Compose to make it.
I've obtained the desired format inside the Excel creating an extra column an using TEXT function to get the desired format buy I would like to make inside the flow without modifying the Excel file.
Thanks a lot
Solved! Go to Solution.
Actually, the date is in ISO 8601 UTC time zone format. A formatDateTime() will work just fine without the extra steps. But be aware Excel using this format was due to a regression bug. MS is in the process of rolling it back so it will start reporting the Serial date again which will need additional conversion.
Hi @Pipo
Use the formatDateTime() expression.
formatDateTime(yourdynamicdatefieldvalue, 'dd/MM/yyyy),

I have realised that the format date you have is not dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss format. So you will struggle to convert using the formatDateTime() expression. Please follow the below steps
Above the split compose expression is as follows:

Hi @Pstork1
I did tried initially formatDateTime() and I got the below error. Am I missing anything here?

Learn more from my blogIf you look at the original post you will see that the date was reported with a 'Z' at the end. That is the way it comes from Excel (At least until MS change the connector back). The UTC timecode will convert directly using formatdatetime. How are you getting the time you have in Compose 2? That appears to come in as a local time zone date time.
Hi @Pstork1
Thanks. It was my bad I forgot to add the Z in my compose. I was trying have a quick test against the value which is provided from the screenshot earlier.
Thanks

Learn more from my blogNot a problem. I didn't notice it either on your post. That's why I wanted to clarify that extra steps weren't necessary. But it won't matter since that update is being rolled back and we'll have to go back to calculating date and time from a serial date.
I have a similar problem. I work on a mac and have .csv files that need to be changed to the ISO 8601 format. I cannot find a way to do it and all the answers I found online don't work for me..I am sure I am missing a step and am not an excel wizard at all...if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Please post as a new post and add some screenshots of what you have tried. Send me a link and I'll try to help. But it will get more help as a new post then tagged to the end of an existing one. Others will also be able to find the eventual answer easier.

For instance, a Super User is someone who has been exceptionally helpful and engaged. Some ranks even come with special permissions, especially those related to community management.

Look out for the icon and rank name displayed next to your username—it’s a badge of honor! Fun fact: Your Community Engagement Team keeps an eye on these ranks, recognizing the most passionate and active community members. So shine brightly with valuable content, and you might just earn well-deserved recognition! Where can you see someone’s rank? When viewing a post, you’ll find a member’s rank to the left of their name.Click on a username to explore their profile, where their rank is prominently displayed. What about the ranks themselves? New members start as New Members, progressing to Regular Visitors, and then Frequent Visitors.Beyond that, we have a categorized system: Kudo Ranks: Earned through kudos (teal icons).Post Ranks: Based on your posts (purple icons).Solution Ranks: Reflecting your solutions (green icons).Combo Ranks: These orange icons combine kudos, solutions, and posts. The top ranks have unique names, making your journey even more exciting!
