Dear Experts

I have been practising with datetime conversion from string to datetime format and I am really struggling

Below the flow

Formatdatetime(variables('DateTime'),'dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM')

but when I run it , I get the following error

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose' inputs at line '1' and column '2437': 'In function 'formatdatetime', the value provided for date time string '14/02/2021 15:32' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format.'.

Any help please?

@Anonymous

Expressions used
split(variables('Datetime'),' ') split(outputs('Compose_2')[0],'/') formatDateTime(concat(outputs('Compose_4')[2],'-',outputs('Compose_4')[1],'-',outputs('Compose_4')[0],' ',outputs('Compose_2')[1],':00'),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm')

@Anonymous You need to use split expression here.

@Anonymous As clear from error message your date is not in ISO 8601 format. you may need to break it apart and rearrange it to the correct formatting to use it as a DateTime string. Make you date in this format- 2021-02-14T11:59:00
2021-02-14T11:59:00Z
20210214T115900Z
