Timestamp incorrect format

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 262

Hi All,

 

I have a flow that puts a time stamp in an excel table.  I have formatted my timestamp, in the flow as  dd-MM-yy HH:mm.  But when it is placed in the sheet, it comes out as mm-dd-yy HH:mm.  I have checked the value in the flow and it shows dd-mm-yy HH-mm and I have checked the regional settings to be correct.

 

Any thoughts?

    Hi @Skybluekid 

     

    How did you format the timestamp from flow to excel?

    It would be clearer if you could share a screenshot of your flow and excel.

     

    Based on your description, I have made a simple test:

    vpeijunzmsft_0-1683783839812.png

    In excel file the date with format dd/MM/yy was successfully updated:

    vpeijunzmsft_1-1683783910524.png

     

    Best regards,

    Sylvia

    Hi @v-peijunz-msft 

     

    I have created a variable "Timestamp", which I have used the expression Addhours

    Skybluekid_0-1683809465284.png

    Which I then put into Update Row

    Skybluekid_4-1683812924291.png

     

    Then the output is 

    Skybluekid_5-1683812945825.png

    Hi @Skybluekid 

     

    Could you please try to format the date again in "Add a row" action?

    i.e., 

    formatDateTime(variable,'dd/MM/yy HH:mm')

     

    Best regards,

    Sylvia
