Not valid DateTime to convert

Help
1

I’m trying to convert the Now DateTime from month/day/year to day/month/year but it’s keep sending me the same error and I can’t figure the way to fix it, any suggestions? Captura

2

Please use the below expression -

strDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss")

3

I don’t need the string in this case, I need to use the DateTime with that format

5

it doesn’t work, doesn’t change the format for the needed one it let it as it was

6

what are you trying to do?
If you want the date in particular format, you must convert it into string.

DateTime object doesn’t have any fixed format.

7

I need to convert the actual date format (MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) into the new one (dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss) to use it with an external activity that only gets the new format

I’m not able to change it to the new format and it’s needed for the process to work

8

What is the data type of external activity input?
If the input type is datetime object, you no need to worry about the date time format.

9

it’s dateTime, but the result of the activity returns error if I don’t write the proper dateTime

10

Just pass the following input value.

DateTime.Now

It will work.

11

I tried, it doesn’t let me, it must be day/month/year hour:minute:second

Refer the below thread once.
I guess you have to pass the culture info (as per your need) -

I will also try to work on it…but we can use parseexact as @KarthikByggari suggested it would work…Still strange why its not taking

lets see, bravo…!

is still giving me the not recognized DateTime, I have the 2018.2 uipath studio version, don’t know if that’s important

15

I did manage to fix it, but now I have a gregorianCalendar error

16

done, I only required to change the cultureInfo to the one I could use this format (in my case it was es-ES)
