create a date to insert into excel without time

Posted on by 297
Hi, 
 
I have a date variable I need to paste into an excel spreadsheet as a 'date' format. 
If I use the 'Convert text to datetime' action the date obviously includes the time. I need just the date only. 
 
The flow is not configured with pFX.
How can I do this? 
I have the same question (0)

    Write the formattedDateTime text to the date column in excel.
