I believe there is something in my setup that does not return the correct date for any of the date functions using Power Automate Desktop whereas others get the correct return.

This means the date is null or it is an uninitialized date value. Not sure what else to tell you since there are no details of your flow provided. This is used as a placeholder to signify that no valid date has been set.

Power Automate Desktop questions should be posted in Microsoft Power Platform Community Forum Thread.

For further clarification, any time a date function is called on my device a null is returned instead of the date. I shared my screen with another Power Automate user who could not figure out why it works on his device and not mine. Is there a setting that could cause my computer to return a null from the call?

I found that using the GetDate function in a subflow does not work whereas it works in Main.
