Get Date As Text

Perfect - Thanks Nate!

The same pattern does not appear to work for time - why is that?

Here is what I tried:

=Time.ToText(Time.From([mytime]),[Format = "HHMMSS"])
Error: Parameter.Error: We couldn't convert the the text value to time using the specified format. The format includes a date component.

Thanks Nate,

I have a datetime field

Im trying to convert the date to test in the format YYYYMMDD and the time to text in the format HHMMSS or something similar

My end game it to concatenate to an id to create a unique key since the id can have several rows as a workflow executes.

OK, in that case I would wrap the whole formula with Text.Select, like:

= Text.Select(Date.ToText(Date.From([mydate]),[Format = "YYYYMMDD"]), {0..9})

This will return just the "numbers".  You may also wich to consider using Date.ToRecord and Time.ToRecord for these.  These break down each date into a field for year, month and day, and hour, minute, second, respectively.

Thanks Nate,

That is giving me an error:

Expression.Error:We cannot convert the value 0 to type Text.
Details:
Value = 0
Type = [Type]

Where mytime = 2/22/2022 9:10:31 AM
