@NIVED_NAMBIAR

Hi @ranaprathap928
so it implies that u are getting error for this date with format of dd-MM-yyyy only ?
is it right buddy?
Yes @NIVED_NAMBIAR few getting similar formats and few are getting different formats, that’s y i used this convertion activity there
Hi @ranaprathap928
I think u can refer this how you can convert multiple dates format into single one
string strDate = "04/23/2019";
string[] arr = {"MM/dd/yyyy","M/d/yyyy"};
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, arr, new CultureInfo("en-US"),
DateTimeStyles.None);
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToShortDateString());
The sample C# code works for me.
You must initialize the culture info object. Then only the array of formats will be considered and works.

@NIVED_NAMBIAR that is C# code I’m looking for any normal code, which can be understand easily.
Hi @ranaprathap928
Using assign activitiy
First create a string array
arr= {“MM/dd/yyyy”,“yyyy-MM-dd”}
Now use the below Assign activitiy
date_1= DateTime.ParseExact(strDate, arr, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)
