Happy TGI(almost)F...

 

Looking to see how to split the received date into two columns on the excel document. How do I achieve that?

 

I tried the below and it hasn't been working and I'm splitting it manually in excel.

    You might consider configuring the date format in Excel:

    @geeklarokcmie You need to use and expression and the formatDateTime() function. Use a Compose action to compose the date and time and run a test.

    Click on the dynamic content tab and insert the output from the Convert Time Zone action.

    Add a comma and single quotes. Between the single quotes enter your date format.

    Run a test.

    Use another Compose action to store the time output. Tip: Rename your actions to keep things organized!

    Insert the output from the Compose actions into whatever action you are using (eg. Add Row or Create Row in table)
