    Hi @DoraYeh ,

    Maybe should add an action "Get a row" before Approval. Like this:

    One of them datetime Format config Serial Number, another datetime Format config ISO8601.

    At the Approval, you can use 

    formatDateTime(outputs('Get_a_row2')?['body/time'],'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') to display the time.
     

    Hope can help you....

    Hi @DukeChen ,

    I get excel row show number, and formatDateTime(Dynamic Value,'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') , Dynamic Value  needs to be ISO 8601 format.

    Hi @DoraYeh 

    Maybe you can try to use function : formatDateTime(Dynamic Value,'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') to solve this problem.

     

    Hope can help you...

    Thanks!
