Posted on by anna2109 83

Hello Team,

 

I would really appreciate some help with the following issue.

 

I have created a Power Bi report where I have embedded power automate and when the user selects Export to excel

and the row data of this table will be saved into an excel hosted in a SharePoint Site.

 

The flow runs successfully

and the row data are added to the excel table, however the date format is not correct.

Would you be able to help me and give some guidance on what I need to add in my flow in order to format the date to dd/mm/yyyy (UK time)?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Vasia

    Use formatDateTime() to customize or format Date and Time values in a flow.

     

    You can go to Add dynamic content > select the Expression tab

    Example: formatDateTime('2009-06-15T13:45:30', 'M/dd/yyyy') -> 6/15/2009

     

    Let me know if any queries

     

    Regards

    Kaif

    In Excel, right click on any cell having the date say B2 - Format cells - Custom - And see whether the date format is set to mm/dd/yyyy here. If you have any other entry there, just remove that. This should correct your problem.
