Turning a text value into a date value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I am using power automate to automatically delete everything inside of a SharePoint list & create a table on my Excel file & then take all the items from the Excel file and put them inside of the SharePoint list. 

 

I need the value in the SharePoint list to be a date value. I get the Excel list from an export from another program. Sadly the date column when exported is set as a text value. 

Is there any way to turn it into a date value using power automate? I am using a create item operator to create the items inside of the SharePoint list. Maybe we could use an expression and turn the Start - Date into a date value that way?
