Posted on by wonka1234 920 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hi,

 

I am creating a file in sharepoint, however the file name being created has the timestamp, can this be excluded?

 

Can we just get this part -

I have tried - 

 

formatDateTime('Received Time', 'yyyy-mm-dd')

 

 

thanks

    Hi @wonka1234 

     

    You have to use formatDateTime to format the timestamp to contain the date only:)

    like below

    Expression used: 

    formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/receivedDateTime'],'yyyy-MM-dd')
     
     
    Thanks & Regards,
