I have a flow where it takes dates from excel and puts them into SharePoint list, the date format is set to ISO 8601, but the dates outputted are still in the number format, why?
Hi @Kristupas5514 ,
Please make sure the first row of the date column has a value. Otherwise it may return the number.

it does have a value although not a date since the excel file is a bit messy and I can't do anything about it
Do you want to convert 5.07 to date time ‘1/5/1900 1:40:48 AM‘?
Please try to format the column.
I didn't want to convert it but it seems there is no other way for now until the spreadsheet gets fixed, also it sometimes works with those numbers sometimes doesn't but if I convert it to short date in excel everything seems to work
Now it doesn't work again I'm so confusedThis works:
This doesn't:
Thanks that seems to have solved the problem
