Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

 

I was trying to get the month name from the current date using Get Current DateTime activity but it was returning only the month number.

 

I want to get the month name in MMM Format.

 

Please help me out.

 

Best Regards,

Achal Sharma
