Posted on by diegoadum 78

Hi!! I'm trying to convert a date that I'm getting from SharePoint but the result is really odd.

 
The original date value in the SharePoint is 06/09/2018 (dd/mm/yyyy)
 
but the result of the formula is 
 
Captura de pantalla 2018-09-06 a la(s) 17.00.53.png
 
Here the formula I'm using!
 
convertTimeZone(items('Apply_to_each')?['Created'], 'Central Standard Time','Pacific SA Standard Time', 'ddmmyyyy')
 
Any idea?
 
Thank in advance!

    Hi @diegoadum,

     

    Please try the following code, I have made a test and it works fine:

    ConvertTimeZone(triggerBody()?['Created'],'Central Standard Time','Pacific SA Standard Time','dd/MM/yyyy')

    Thank for the tip! Maybe you can explain what the difference between items and TriggerBody is? Smiley Very Happy

    In addition, I'm getting a null error now. Sorry, but I hit the accept as a solution too soon! AS you can see below I do have a value in the Created field, but Flow is not considering it as a valid value.

    Looking at your example I noticed that my mistake was to use the mm instead MM in the month conversion. I made the change in the formula and now is working as should!

    so the formula now is like this:

     

    convertTimeZone(items('Apply_to_each')?['Created'], 'Central Standard Time', 'Pacific SA Standard Time', 'dd/MM/yyyy')
