FYI: Those timestamp are in UNIX format.

Check out this help article for how to convert them using a Formatter step: https://zapier.com/help/doc/how-use-formatter-functions#converting-a-datetime-value-to-a-unix-epoch-timestamp

Change FROM this date/time format to your desired date/time format.

Hi @ronl 

Try changing the format of the column in GSheets to a Timestamp.

thanks,  i tried but not working.  see attached

look at the row…. it has only “time” column coming from zapier daily weather  and i cant translate it to date or time.

 

its very strange as i just follow the instructions, and cant have datetime for a row daily.  also other date/time columns are just long number.

 

any idea?

thanks , i solve it.

added sheets formula to the zapier field,  the forumla to translate UNIX timestamp to date is:  CELL VALUE / 86400+DATE(1970,1,1)+time(5,30,0)
