How to Manipulate a String in date/time format

Posted on by Julian1 6

Hi dear People,

 

I stuck at the following problem:

I have this Output-Data:

 

 "starttime": "2019-08-02T09:32:15.8335694Z",
"endtime": "2019-08-02T09:32:23.764065Z"

and it should be in this form in the end:

 

"starttime2": "2019-08-02 09:32:15",
"endtime2": "2019-08-02 09:32:23"


How can I achieve this?

    Hi @Julian1, 2 ways: either use a Convert time zone action or add a Compose control and add a formatDateTime expression. Both of these are shown in the image below.

    Hi @Julian1 ,

     

    Please consider using the formatDateTime function to convert the date time format.

     

    The function could be configured likes below:

    formatDateTime('2019-08-02T09:32:15.8335694Z','yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss')

     

    More details about formatDateTime function, please check the following doc:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#formatDateTime

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
