Hi,

 

The below function worked perfectly but a few days back it stopped working. Any ideas why it stopped?

 

addDays('1899-12-30',int(item()?['RECD DATE']),'dd-MMM-yy')

    Hi @Gopishrine ,

     

    Now dates in excel are rendered as dates within flow. No need to do the number conversion logic.

    Hi,

     

    But still, it's not working for me.

    In the run history, it shows like below.

     

        "RECD DATE": "43685"

    Hi @Gopishrine,

     

    Dates in excel will now once again be produced in serial number format. Microsoft has rolled back the change.

    So go back to your original expression.
