DateTime is less than minumum value supported by CrmDateTime

[AngeloA]

Hi, 

I'm getting the error:

"DateTime is less than minumum value supported by CrmDateTime. Actual value: 01/01/0001 00:00:00, Minimum value supported: 01/01/1753 00:00:00"

(Funny spelling error in the error message 😑)

However, the date and time are in the correct format:

this flow was working correctly, however I turned it off for a few days, now that it's back on I'm getting this error, any idea how I can tackle it please?

TIA

Hi @AngeloA 

Could it just be the format of the date?  Have you tried MM/dd/yyyy instead of dd/MM/yyyy?

HI @DamoBird365 

thanks for that, it actually just gets the value from a Google Sheet and plugs it into a Dynamics table (both in UK format)

and it was working a couple of days ago without any problems ... but I'm happy to give it a go, can you suggest how I can reformat it?

Thanks 🙂

@AngeloA ,

Just something to try as it is odd I agree.  You can use the expression formatdatetime

something like formatdatetime(INSERTYOURVARIABLE,'MM/dd/yyyy')

Thanks for that @DamoBird365 

I'm trying:

formatdatetime({items('Apply_to_each')?['Timestamp']}, 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss' )

but it complains that it's not correct ... it is a time and date field ... tried a few variations ...

Hi @AngeloA

Thanks @DamoBird365, I appreciate you trying!

I don't get very far I'm afraid, it won't accept my expression:

formatDateTime(@{items('Apply_to_each')?['Timestamp']}, 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss')

[DamoBird365]

@AngeloA 

formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['Timestamp'], 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss')

you need to remove the curly bracket and @, you only use them if you are pasting an expression direct into an action and so with it being part of an expression, it will make it invalid.

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Thanks @DamoBird365 for the explanation, I will certainly remember it! 🙂

However now I'm getting the message:

 the value provided for date time string '22/02/2021 12:48:53' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format

Maybe it's something to do how the data is stored in Google Sheets, but can't find any references to it ...

OK @AngeloA , we will get this...

formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['Timestamp'], 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
