Formatting Date from Select Data Operation in email

Posted on by Kiara1987 89

I have a flow to pull through data from a SharePoint List (including a date) to a table in an email.

The date is coming through to the email like this.

This is my formula but it does not seem to work.

However in another flow with the same formula it does work

Kiara1987_2-1698277492162.png

 

Can someone help? or is there another formula I can use to change the date formatting to dd-mmm-yyyy?

    You don't need that Parse thing. Just go formatDateTime(item()?['Deadline'],'dd.MM.yyyy')

    ..Although you probably want to convert to your local timezone so instead use convertFromUTC like so

     

    convertFromUtc(item()?['Deadline'],'My TimeZone String','dd.MM.yyyy') where "My TimeZone String" is from the second column in this list: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/
