    Hi @Dougers1,

    Please check the following steps:

    1). Please select the date formate as ISO8601 as below:

    vqiaqimsft_0-1696469347988.png

    2). Then in the email body tab, please formate the date time as below:

    formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['YourDateField'], 'dd-MM-yyyy')
    formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['YourTimeField'], 'hh:mm:ss')

     

    If it does not solve your problem, please show me your excel date time configuration.
