# How To: Format Date and Time Together

Use `format-date` with time patterns when your field stores both date and time.

### Problem

You need to display both date and time, potentially in a specific timezone.

### Solution

**Basic Date and Time:**

```
{{!Opportunity.Created_DateTime__c format-date="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"}}
```

**Result:** `10/28/2024 02:30:45 PM`

**24-Hour Format:**

```
{{!Opportunity.Created_DateTime__c format-date="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"}}
```

**Result:** `10/28/2024 14:30:45`

**With Timezone:**

```
{{!Opportunity.Created_DateTime__c format-date="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a TZ:America/New_York"}}
```

**Result:** `10/28/2024 02:30:45 PM EST`

### Time Pattern Reference

| Pattern | Meaning      | Example |
| ------- | ------------ | ------- |
| `HH`    | Hour (00-23) | 14      |
| `hh`    | Hour (01-12) | 02      |
| `mm`    | Minutes      | 30      |
| `ss`    | Seconds      | 45      |
| `a`     | AM/PM marker | PM      |

### Common Timezones

```
America/New_York
America/Chicago
America/Denver
America/Los_Angeles
America/Phoenix
Europe/London
Europe/Paris
Asia/Tokyo
Australia/Sydney
```

### Tips

* Times default to GMT unless you set a timezone.
* Use Java timezone codes only.
* Salesforce-supported timezones work best.
