Posted on by nick9one1 288
I have a flow that collects data from a completed docusign document. Part f the data is a dat in UK format  
  "Employers Liability Insurance Expiry": "04/10/2024",
I need to add this to a sharepoint list date column. I understand it needs to be in  ISO 8601 format for this to work. 

I have tried the following  
formatDateTime(body('Parse_JSON')?['Public Liability Expiry'], 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')
 
but it outputs the date as 
2024-04-10T00:00:00Z
(month and day are reversed)

    Hi,
     
    Try like this
     
    formatDateTime(parseDateTime(body('Parse_JSON')?['Public Liability Expiry'],'','dd/MM/yyyy'),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

    Instead of FormatDateTime() you should be using ParseDateTime() so you can specify the locale of the input date.  Try this
     
    parseDateTime('04/10/2024', 'en-GB')
