Time.ToText

Syntax

Time.ToText(time as nullable time, optional options as any, optional culture as nullable text) as nullable text

About

Returns a textual representation of time. An optional record parameter, options, may be provided to specify additional properties. culture is only used for legacy workflows. The record can contain the following fields:

• Format: A text value indicating the format to use. For more details, go to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2180104 and https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2180105. Omitting this field or providing null will result in formatting the date using the default defined by Culture.

• Culture: When Format is not null, Culture controls some format specifiers. For example, in "en-US" "tt" is "AM" or "PM", while in "ar-EG" "tt" is "ص" or "م". When Format is null, Culture controls the default format to use. When Culture is null or omitted, Culture.Current is used.

To support legacy workflows, options and culture may also be text values. This has the same behavior as if options = [Format = options, Culture = culture].
