Posted on by Community Power Pla...

A site has been set up which holds users TimeSheets in XLS files. They are organised as such

https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/WEStaffFiles/Manager%20one/Forms/AllItems.aspx

Manager_1\Jane\TimeSheets\Timesheet for Annualisedhours2019.xls

\Tom\TimeSheets\Timesheet for Annualisedhours2019.xls

Manager_2\Fred\TimeSheets\Timesheet for Annualisedhours2019.xls

\John\TimeSheets\Timesheet for Annualisedhours2019.xls

etc.

The site owner is wanting to an email sending every week listing any xls document which has not been modified for over 7 days.

I've trying to building a flow to do this but i'm not getting anywhere quick.

I can't even seem to get a list of just the XLS file from the root of https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/WEStaffFiles/ with the name of Timesheet for Annualisedhours2019.xls, all sorts of different files come back.

Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hello @Anonymous ,

First think I suggest is to set new column in your document library where you store those files that will define what type of file is it. In your case you will set "Timesheet". In mpicture below I have column named "Document Type" and there is filled "Closing Protocol".

Then you are able to filter by this word when selecting all files properties from library. Option to pick this is Hidden under Advanced option that you can click.

So in your case if you will name column "DocumentType" and there will be filled "Timesheet" the whole query is:

DocumentType eq 'Timecheet'

This will return all such files.

There is returned for such file propertie called "Modified"

In your case you can use Filter to filter value with all files that was returned, first there is need to update this "Modified" date and time like this:

formatDateTime(item()?['Modified'], 'yyyy-MM-dd')

and compare it against this formula with "is equal to"

formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(), -7), 'yyyy-MM-dd')

In picture below I am filtering based on "Created" property.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to filter out files with “Annualisedhours2019.xls” in its list name?

In the Filter array function, please consider using dynamic content FilenameWithExtension.

I have made a simple flow likes below, which will filter out files that file name contains “Test”.

The function used in the Filter array is:

@and(contains(item()?['{FilenameWithExtension}'], 'Test'),equals(item()?['{IsFolder}'], false))

Hope this could be a reference for you.

Best regards,

Mabel
