SharePoint Date and Time column not working Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Gerard2 77

Hi,

 

I have a SharePoint List with a date and time column. I want to draw the date and time out into an email using the expression ‘formatDateTime(item()?[‘body/Date’],’dddd, dd MMMM yyyy hh:mm tt’) However when I do get the date and time it’s off by a day or two. I have changed the site settings of SharePoint to 24 hours.

 

Thanks,

 

Gerard

    Figured it out with Covert Time Zone.

    Replaced expression in Send an Email template with Covert Time Zone instead.

    Hi @Gerard2 

     

    SharePoint stores the date & time field in UTC format, you need to convert to local time zone to get the correct date & time. Pls use the below expression:

    formatDateTime(convertFromUtc(item()?['body/Date'],'India Standard Time'),'dddd, dd MMMM yyyy hh:mm tt')

     here, am converting the value to IST (India Standard Time), pls refer to below link for all geo time zones values:

    Default Time Zones | Microsoft Learn

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
