Hi, is there any function that can be used to convert the Flow timestamp to an actual date, like dd-mm-yyyy?

There are no functions to do this in Cadence.  
Saying that t’s just a standard Unix timestamp so you can convert it for display using js

```auto
const milliseconds = timestamp * 1000
const dateObject = new Date(milliseconds)
const humanDateFormat = dateObject.toLocaleString()

```
