Hi all,

I'm having trouble with the 'Datetime to text' action. I pull in a date (as text) from an application :

I then convert to DateTime, and subtract 2 minutes.

Now I want to populate the ResultedDate back to the app, but the date changes when I I populate on the app or even when I display it on a pop-up message. I tried to convert to text but it still changes:

after converting the date now looks like this:

I dont want it to change and I do not know how to fix this. please help

Hi @NthakoT ,

I dont what the final required format for you to appload to the website. But you just sole the above issue just by using Custom option while your converting to text as shown in below images.
Write the required format in Customat Format which ever your looking for .In your case i think the problem is with the Date and month .Just use yyyy/MM/dd HH:MM or yyyy/dd/MM HH:MM format in Custom.It will solve your issue.

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Hi @NthakoT ,

When your creating a flow,you have enabled the Power FX option.Power Fx in power automate is still in preview state,so we dont recommend it to use in production. So please disable the Power Fx as shown in Image and Start creating the same flow it will work.
