Hi all, i’m having problem transforming my dates. I have a google form that collects a date and another attributes. Respect to date the format that it is entered in the form is “dd/mm/yyyy”. By example 28/8/2024.

I create a task that trigger when a row is created, when the data is read, the date is read like Aug 28 2024. In this caso all is OK.

The problem is when i have my first date entered in Septembre, by example:  2/9/2024,  when the data is read, the date is read like Feb 9 2024. In this caso all is ERROR. I need that the date was read like Sep 2 2024.

I tried with the formatter task but i dont have results.

Attach images abut this.

 

Pls your help, i will thank you so much.

Hi @milobenavides 

The From Format does not match the Input Format.

Help link to reference: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496257974029-Modify-date-and-time-formats-in-Zaps

Part of the issue is the date.

  • Input
    • Date Format: D/M/YYYY
    • Includes Time: H:mm:ss A
  • Form Format:
    • Date Format: DD/MM/YYYY
    • Does not include Time.
