Format Datetime

Transforms a DateTime into a string with a format.

Description​

Examples:

FormatResult
"MM/dd/yyyy""02/11/2014"
"h 'o''clock'""3 o'clock"

See <a href="https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Field_Symbol_Table" target="_blank">Date Field Symbol Table</a> for the full list of tokens.

Inputs​

  • datetime (DateTime): The date and time to format.
  • format (String): The format to apply (see above).

Outputs​

  • formatted datetime (String): The resulting string.
