Dear Community,
I am using a flow to create an item in SharePoint list however, I want to format the UTC now() function to look like this yyyymmddhhss.
Kindly assist.

@silascyro1
Use the formatDateTime expression.
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyymmddhhss')
Why do you want it formatted that way? SharePoint uses yyyy-MM-dd
@ScottShearer I want to create a reference number when an item is being created. I have been requested to create the reference number in that format.
