Convert Decimal to ISO 8601 Compliant Date Format

Posted on by Phineas 5,331 Moderator

I've got one more issue to resolve.

Data source is an Excel workbook. I wrestled with getting the 'InTime' and 'OutTIme' (both Date columns) over; They are now coming over fine.

Last issue is 'WaitTime'.

In Excel the 'WaitTime' column is formatted as 'Time'

Power Automate and is seeing 'WaitTime' as a decimal value, as shown in Compose 3 below.

I am using the following expression in the 'WaitTime' of the 'Create item' and getting back the above error. 
        formatDateTime(items('Apply_to_each')?['WaitTime'],'hh:mm:ss')

    @Phineas 

    I assume that you are using a List rows in a table Excel action.  Have you set the date time format to ISO 8601 (advanced options)?
