Hi everyone

I have a cell "date" in a excel sheet which is in a date format, but on flow I have this error message when I format the date in dd-MM-yyyy: Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition_2' at line '0' and column '0': 'In function 'formatDateTime', the value provided for date time string '44683' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format.

Can someone give me some advice

Thank you

I still have the same error message, I think it's due to the date which is provided by excel to PA as "44683" but the format is set to date on excel

Excel stores dates as an integer. If you are using a List rows present in a table action make sure you select the DateTime format in the action to ISO 8601.
