Re: Changing the format of the date

Hi

Didn't you find any suitable format by playing with 'format string' options?

Hope this helps

Re: Changing the format of the date

@AB21 in the Format string field, scroll down to the bottom of the dropdown list, select custom value and type in dd/MM/yyyy.

Re: Changing the format of the date

Hi @efialttes

There isnt a suitable one

I need DD/MM/YYYY with short time

Is this possible as a custom value I know @RobElliott mentioned putting DD/MM/YYYY which works but I also need the short time to go along with it.

Please help!

Re: Changing the format of the date

Hi!

My suggestion is, leave 'format string' as

Then use expression based on formatDateTime() on the email body

formatDateTime(body('Converted_time_zone'), 'dd/MM/yyyy H:mm')

All possible formats here

https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings

Or, as @RobElliott suggests, in the Format string field, scroll down to the bottom of the dropdown list, select custom value and type in

dd/MM/yyyy H:mm

Havent tested this second approach, but eems easier than mine

Hope this helps
