Date Format issue while executing

[indrajit.shah (iamvicky)]

I have a date field in my excel in mm/dd/yyyy format but when i am running the same in UiPath I am getting completely different output(2nd screen attached), how to fix??

You can try as following:
Convert.ToDateTime(dateValue).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”)

[indrajit.shah (iamvicky)]

not working.

Hope this expression would help you resolve this
DateTime.FromOADate(row(date).Tostring).ToString(“dd-MM-yyyy”)

Cheers @indrajit.shah

thankyou @Palaniyappan for your reply.

I am not using any for each or any loop and i need to convert this after reading the excel.

@indrajit.shah

onvert this after reading the excel

May I know how we are reading excel
We can replace the string inside the fromoadate method

[indrajit.shah (iamvicky)]

I am using readrange

[Palaniyappan (Forum Leader)]

Fine
Then if the output of read range is named as dt
DateTime.FromOADate(dt.Rows(0)(0)).ToString(“dd-MM-yyyy”)

Cheers @indrajit.shah

[indrajit.shah (iamvicky)]

thankyou

it’s fixed just by changing the format to “text” in excel

Awesome
