Change Date Format in MS flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bader0Alrajhi 5

Hi, 

 

I have created Flow with the date (Created), however, it comes in a format that looks like YYYY-MM-DDT10:00:00Z.  I want it to be like MM/dd/YYYY.

 

I tried 

 

formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['Created'],'MM/dd/yyyy')

 and I am getting a string that looks like "formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['Created'],'dd/MM/yyyy')" instead of the actual date 

 

I would be thankful if you could help me with it

 

Let me know if you need more details 

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi @Bader0Alrajhi 

    I have created a sample flow of whenever an item is created in the list. I had initialized the string variable with the following expression.

    formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['Created'], 'MM/dd/yyyy')

    When I ran the flow, I got the datetime as formatted. Please refer the screenshot below.

    Hi @Bader0Alrajhi ,

     

    The method provided by @sudharsan1985 and @DeepakS are all work for your questions.

    We need to write an expression in Expression editor and apply it in the field.

    Please take a try and feel free let us know if you have any other questions.

     

    Best Regards,
