(I am a beginner) . I was trying to change the variable type but it's not allowing me. I can only keep the default (string)

Hi @akheelahmad,
The output variable of this activity is String so you can not change this to any other type however you can use String normally then after get the text value you want you can convert type after that like below link hope my answer solved your question if you still has issue please update us

Convert a string to date

fine is 12/05/2018 is of format dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy if its dd/MM/yyyy then out_date = Datetime.ParseExact(“12/05/2019”,“dd/MM/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) where out_date is a variable of type datetime or if its of format “MM/dd/yyyy” then out_date = Datetime.ParseExact(“12/05/2019”,“MM/dd/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) Cheers @mz3bel
