Posted on by 65

 

I have a flow where an email is generated at the end of the flow. I am using dynamic content from excel. when using it in the email for a date. it is giving me the output of 45226 vs 10/27/2023 which is the date value in excel. 

 

How can i fix this?

    Hi @Nicktrom55 ,

     

    You can use an expression to format the date:

    formatDateTime('2023-10-27T00:00:00.000Z', 'MM/dd/yyyy')
