Power Automate Excel Outputted as Decimal

[Tielure1]

Power Automate seems to output my time from excel sheets into decimal form. Below is an example of the cell I use for time

Then when it goes through flow, when checking the table - It comes out with this

Then when isolating the individual time it comes out the same

How do I convert it back to the original time in the cell?

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi @Tielure1 

So basically how the excel works is, for date it returns the integer calculated as the number of days from 1899-12-29. And for time it is like the percentage of day completed. So if 00:00 is 0% then 12PM is 50% (0.5) and so on. You can find the expression to convert it here:

Try formateDateTime() in your processes EG:

Take the time field and do fromatDateTime(Timefield,'hh:mm')  I am not sure of the actual 'hh:mm' code as it may be upper etc

How would I implement this into flow? My flow has to iterate through each row in an excel sheet and convert it?

Thanks,

Hi @Tielure1 

Were you able to resolve? Can you take a try using the expression provided on the URL that I have shared? You have to wrap the dynamic content from the excel outputs into that expression to get the time in hours and minutes.
