    Hello @Antal_Bogdan ,

    Excel returns by default a sequence number for dates, but if you go to the 'Show advanced settings' in the 'List rows...' action it'll offer you an option to change the DateTime Format to ISO 8601.

    But if that doesn't work you can also calculate the date from the sequence number.
