Adjust String Formatting when Parse JSON - create CSV

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SLO1995

Hello Team,

 

I have a flow set up with a https get call. I then parse the JSON, create a CSV and save it do my desktop.

 

My Column headers however are all formatted as the JSON String and I haven't figure out a way to format the dates to MM/dd/yyyy or be able to add spaces to the column headers. See below for my flow as well as the csv output:

here are the column headers I am trying to format to make them more readable:

Any help on how to output the dates in MM/dd/yyyy format as well as formatting the other header's would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Sean

    You can use a Select action to select the "columns" from the HTTP action, name the columns, and format the data  using expressions. For example:

    2021-12-02_23-43-55.png2021-12-02_23-46-19.png2021-12-02_23-45-40.png

     

    The output of the select action should be used for the Create CSV Table action:

    2021-12-02_23-51-09.png
