    Hi @Yallaling,

     

    Not really recognizing that format, tbh 😁. I have seen time stamps being formatted as decimals, but not date and time.

     

    Can you share a bit more details about where you are getting this value from (which system and what are you using in your set variable action)? Or do you know what the name is of this format?

    Hi @Yallaling,

     

    Are you using the ISO 8601 format in the settings of that list rows present in a table action? If not, can you select that format and try again?

    Hi @Yallaling,

     

    Can you check in the outputs of the List row present in table action and see if the dates show up correctly over there?

    Hi @Yallaling,

     

    Can you share a screenshot of the value in your excel file column/row? Also double check what is used in the fx field for the row/cell.

     

    Are you using a specific number format in that column? (Generic or a specific date or time format?). If so, please share what that format is.

     

    Below is an example how to check all these things in your Excel file (click on the gif to see it in higher resolution).
