Im performing a Zap this is working perfectly.

 

The only problem I am facing is that when the Zap inputs the data in tables its being inputted in reverse even thought that I have already:-

  • Formatted the date from YYYY-MM-DDTHH🇲🇲ssZ to DD-MM-YYYY correctly.
  • On tables I also set the format to be DD-MM-YYYY

But it still shows up in reverse and I am out of ideas…. Please help!

Hi ​@rashednaber 

Format the date as YYYY-MM-DD in the Zap step and pass to Zapier Tables as YYYY-MM-DD.

Set the desired data format in the Zapier Table field config.

Hi Troy. Thank you so much for your help. Worked instantly.

Your replies are much appreciated.

 

One more question just for me to know please:

In the instance I want the date and time to show without the time zone. Would I input the record in Zapier tables as YYYY-MM-DDTHH🇲🇲ssZ (the original record that i get) and then convert in table to include the time in HH🇲🇲ss format? I guess that should work.

​@rashednaber 

Yes, best to use ISO timestamp format, then specify the format and time zone in the Zapier Table field configuration.

Hey ​@Troy Tessalone many thanks for your help earlier.

Just want to confirm something as I also did some zapping on google sheets and excel and realized that everything is working in the same way.

 

The best practice was to always input the data as year-month-date and then format as you wish.

Is this a standard practice for all prorgams? As Im going to start standardising this always the same way with all my countless amounts of sheets that I am dealing with.

​@rashednaber 

When in doubt, send data in ISO formatted datetime formats, unless specified otherwise.

Info about ISO standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Thanks Troy you have been really helpful.

That’s awesome ​@rashednaber! A huge thanks to Troy for pointing you in the right direction!
