How to obtain timestamp in UIPath?

Help Studio

I am interested in getting the timestamp numeric only in UIPath. Is there a direct function for the same?
I am using System.DateTime. but it gives it in a specific dd:mm or whichever format I specify it to. But I am only interested in numeric value of timestamp and not the date time.

We can also write like dateTimeVar.ToFileTime.

Is it in nano seconds or something else?

Ah Okay, I got it now… Most of the datetime starts from 1970 and so that’s why it was giving an Invalid date. Thanks anyways it resolved my issue.

Hi,

FYI, the following also returns numeric value regarding datetime.

ToOADate (returns as double like excel serial value (from 1900/1/0)

UnixTime (from 1970/1/1)
