I have this easy requirement where they want a field that displays the the CreatedDate field of the object but with seconds at the end.

enter image description here

I've created a formula field

enter image description here

but it's still showing like in the first image, no seconds added ....

Any idea on how to achieve this ?

This is a partial answer that may not meet your requirements

TEXT(Day( DATEVALUE(CreatedDate) )) & "/" &
TEXT(Month( DATEVALUE(CreatedDate) ))&"/"&
TEXT(Year( DATEVALUE(CreatedDate) )) & " " &
MID(TEXT(CreatedDate),12,8) & 
' UTC'

will display result in 24 hr time, UTC (not local time). For example:

25/11/2020 16:22:33 UTC

    Datetimes are stored as UTC and TEXT function grabs that. – cropredy Nov 25 '20 at 20:36
  • Hi cropredy, I thought you might be able to help me with this question too: salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/327425/… – Nacho Zve De La Torre Nov 26 '20 at 23:16
  • Because what I really really need is to have the createdDate value in a new Date/Time variable, not a text one ... is there any way to achieve this with a formula ? – Nacho Zve De La Torre Nov 26 '20 at 23:17
