How do I formatDateTime a Select value from SharePoint List?
I have a SharePoint list which I'm retrieving daily at 4pm. I'm filtering out the items I need and then adding them to an HTML table to send out via email:
Recurrence -> Get Items -> Select -> Create HTML Table -> Send EMail
The problem I have is that one of the fields is a datetime field and is showing UTC time when it should be showing daylight savings time (or local time).
How can I format this field so that it shows the correct value in the HTML table? I tried adding the formatDateTime (which might do it?) to the Select, but it appears that is just expecting a JSON object, and not recognising functions.
Any thoughts on how I can parse that JSON and replace the datetime values with formatted date time values greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

OK, so I've managed to get the formatdatetime function to work, but it is still showing the UTC date time and not the local date time. Any thoughts? I just want to show the actual date time in the email I send!
This is the function I'm currently using:
@formatdatetime(item()?['MeetingStart'],'r')
