Change date/time format from CET to US (with AM/PM) format

[TomJansen]

​Hi there,

I have been dealing with some trouble some web user interface which I can't find a proper solution with.
I'm working in NL, and are using some internal websites, which are created by our US partner.

At the end of the form, you have to give the current date and time in us formating.

03/04/2020 2:03 PM.

So in NL the standard formating would be 4-3-2020 14:03

I have tried working with Utility - Date and Time manipulation but I just does not seem to work.

Does anybody have an idea how to do this change in formatting?

Thank you for the help!

Did you try format date? Format date( today(),"M-d-yy")

Hi Swetha,

thank you for helping me out. But this is not working for me. Maybe my help question was not clear. The expression result you suggest is the same as that I have.
But I need to transfor this formatting to the US formatting.

So basicly, how can I transfor the format: 4-3-2020 14:03 -> 3/4/2020 2:03 PM

Kind regards
Tom

Hi Swetha,

yes that is exactly what I want. I formatted it the same as that you did. But I still get the same expression result back.

Hi Tom,

How is your system date formatted as? Mine is as below. Can you check and update yours if it is not in the same format and try again to see if it works? Let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Swetha,

I checked the system time (local) on my laptop (windows7), changed format to English (United States). On my laptop it now shows the US formatting. But for Blue Prism, this does not help/work. It still remains the same outcome. Can't change anything further within Blue Prism itself, as this is only for admins.

Hi Tom.

Right, you may need to contact the admin, I am not sure how we can update the format in blueprism. When I change the system date format, still the expression is  evaluating fine on my machine. Now am eager to know how this can be fixed.

Thanks,

Can you check result with Utility Date Time Manipulation -> Format Date because I can see that FormatDateTime is not working in one of your screenshot as it shows (-) in result when you have specified (/) in expression.
