I need to convert the current date to text so i can join it to a string.
let
Source = DateTime.LocalNow(),
Text = DateTime.ToText(Source)
in
TextI have this, but the output is 09/09/2022 12:31:23 and I need 2022-09(MONTH)-09(DAY)
How can I solve this ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Change DateTime.ToText(Source) to
DateTime.ToText(Source,"yyyy-MM-dd")
Depending on exactly what you want, maybe:
DateTime.ToText(DateTime.LocalNow(),"yyyy-MM(MMMM)-dd(dddd)")
=> 2022-09(September)-09(Friday)
or
DateTime.ToText(DateTime.LocalNow(),"yyyy-MM(""MONTH"")-dd(""DAY"")")
=> 2022-09(MONTH)-09(DAY)
here, today.
