Formatting the date coming from Get Items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

I am using Get Items to grab some rows from a Sharepoint list, then want to summarise these in a table to email out once per day. I have got this working, but am having some issues formatting the dates in the table. I have attempted the below solution, with an array, but I just get the whole array in every row of the table. Any suggestions on how I can format the dates?

    Hi @CReay,

     

    If you want apply formatting to an item in a select you can actually use an expression directly in the value field of that key.

     

    Below is an example of that approach.

    I have used this expression for my Date and Time value field:

     

    formatDateTime(item()?['DateandTime'], 'yyyy-MM-dd')

    Thanks. I tried this first, but was getting an error returned. It seems to work now, so clearly I had a small issue somewhere.
