okay first let me know where you get your value? are you get it from excel using get cell activity ? and if yes then it store in string type.
cheers
Hey @Mathkar_kunal here the method
DateTime.ParseExact(yourValue, “dd/M/yy”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)
i am getting below error
“string was not recognized as valid date time” for write cell.
i am using below expression
DateTime.ParseExact(DateValue, “yyyy/mm/dd”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)
as my date is like 2025-01-08 which needs to be copy.
Hie @Mathkar_kunal you get this error because in the parse method you put the wrong format as input this is your format 2025-01-08 and in parse method you pass like this yyyy/mm/dd so thats why it throw error the two error you are doing is
1- the parameter
2- is month
Pass this logic in your code
DateTime.ParseExact(yourValue, “yyyy-dd-MM”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”)
cheers
In read cell activity try using preserve format option by ticking the checkbox in read cell properties. And then write in your output file.
Thanks!!
