Formats a date or datetime as text, using a pattern you choose. Pair it with Compose String to put a date inside a longer string.

​
Inputs

  • Date — the date or datetime to format.

​
Outputs

  • Result — the formatted text.

​
Pattern

Each % directive is replaced by a part of the date; everything else is copied as written. Blank means %Y-%m-%d. Examples: %d/%m/%Y gives 07/03/2026; %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z gives 2026-03-07T09:05:00+0100. Month and weekday names are in English. A plain date has no time of day, so %H, %M and %S print as 00. %z and %Z print nothing for a date or a datetime without a zone.

​
Timezone

Optional IANA zone name (e.g. Europe/Stockholm). When set, a datetime is converted to that zone before it is formatted, so %H reads the local hour. Leave it blank to format in UTC. Dates ignore the field.
