File stored into an folder, changing name everyday!

Hi PowerAutomate Community!

I am new at creating flows, hope you can help me 🙂 

 

There is a report generated every day on Sharepoint, I need to extract the new rows of this file that have been added to my reporting file. However:

  • The name changes: the name of the file is the date when it has been generated (ex: 01.05.2022)
  • This file is stored in a folder with the same name. So File 01.05.2022 is stored in Folder 01.05.2022 and so on...
  • There are several files for up to 3 days.

An idea of how it looks like:

So my idea was to extract the most recent file created but it is giving me hard time knowing how to proceed as it is also stored in a folder (which contains only this file).

 

Any advice?

 

Many thanks

    Hi @JakesJan 

     

    Here is an example:

    The expression you want to use is :

     

    formatDateTime(utcnow(),'dd.MM.yyyy')

     

    US format 😁 formatDateTime(utcnow(),'MM.dd.yyyy')

     

    Please consider accepting my answer as a solution if it helps to solve your problem.

    Cheers
