Date and Time Formatting

Date and Time Formatting

Converts a date from an input format to a defined output format. Essential for standardizing dates coming from different sources — such as systems that use the American format (MM/DD/YYYY) when the destination expects the Brazilian format (DD/MM/YYYY), or vice versa.


Options​

Input Format​

Select the format in which the input date is written. The format selected must match exactly the date that will be provided in the next field.

Use a date relative to the robot execution?​

Defines whether the date will be obtained automatically based on the moment the robot is being executed. Select Yes to use the current date and skip the manual date field, or No to provide a specific date.

Date to be formatted​

Output Format​

Select the format in which the date must be returned after the conversion.
