Posted on by sb-hog

Good morning!

I have a problem with the function of utcNow(), resp. the formatting.

In every programming language, in every YoutTube-Video that I have seen for this funtion were explained, that when you format a date with 'M' you get only the month as a number.

In my flow I get utcNow('M') = 'August 11' and I'm short to explode for this not logical result.

Why I get the name of month and the day as a number????? I can not understand this.

My aim is '8'

What I'm doing wrong????

Hello @sb-hog ,

a single character is often a standard format string: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings, you can use MM instead, even though it’ll display 08 and not just 8.

Thanks @tom_riha for your solution. Now I do this with int(utcNow('MM')).
