Welcome to the forum!

You need to tell us a little more about what you are trying to do. Where is the data coming from? Where do you want to display the results?

I've just taken your flow and removed the nodes I don't have.  
The Date/Time Formatter produces the correct time for me, so I suspect your problem is in the first node.

The Date/Time Node works perfect but i want to send date with value.  
For exemple here i want send 23 concatinat with date like this: ''2022-05-18 14:42:00 23"

If you don't want to pass `msg.date_time` onto further nodes, you can delete with... in the function node.

```auto
msg.payload = msg.date_time + " " +msg.payload;

delete msg.date_time;

return msg;

```
