How to use time functions in your shortcuts.

I see so many people asking how to get the week number or get the last day of the month, how to do this and that with time so I thought I would put this together to help everyone wanting to know how to manage time and dates in shortcuts.

Added in several new formats and practical uses

Cheers Tony

Hey Tony, thanks for updating. Just fyi: There’s a misspelling »day full lenght« and I was wondering why you’re using capital letters for »Am« and »Pm« and for »Quarter«? It would look more coherent (comparing to all the other entries) if all the words have lower case letters, right? Just something that catched my eyes. ;)

Thanks for pointing that out and I know what you are saying. I though this together as a friend asked me how I use them, never thought that then I put it out as an idea. Will correct them though. Cheers Tony

Hey, Tony, just posting this here if you didn’t see on Discord. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that someone stole one of your shortcuts. The person only changed the “Created By” but everything else is similar. Here’s a link: https://routinehub.co/shortcut/2033

Does this require iOS 13 ? It will not load on my iOS 12.x devices.

@TonyDudley Author

Yes it does, It does say iOS 13 in the title if that helps Try this one for iOS 12 https://routinehub.co/shortcut/2878

Yup, this is just the first time you needed a particular iOS for a Shortcut. Out of curiosity, what has changed in terms of date support in iOS 13?

@TonyDudley Author

Quite a bit at the moment there are a lot of things not working correctly as it’s a beta, and all shortcuts made in 12 are basically broken but we are getting there.
