Odata filter query help— less than or equal to today plus 7 days

Posted on by Hclor

Hi there. I am new to this and need to create an expression to only get items whose column "Next Maint. Due" is less than or equal to 7 days from now. What would I put in the filter query field of the get items step? I've tried a number of things that haven't worked.

And would having an initialize variable before or after this affect it? Essentially my end goal is to send a weekly email with a table of all items due this week (or over due). I can post links to videos I've been referencing to help with this, but right now I'm stuck on what to put in the filter query field.

Thank you!!

You can start b:
getting the current date/time (this will be in UTC time).
converting the current date/time (UTC) to for your time zone
Adding 7 days to the current date/time in your time zone
Specify the OData filter query using the internal SharePoint column name of the "Next Maint. Due" column and your calculated date
For example:
Then in your Get items filter query, add the SharePoint column name and date (enclose the date in single quotes). For example, Created date is less than or equal to the calculated time:

You will need to use the internal column name for "Next Maint. Due". To find the internal column name of "Next Maint. Due" see How to find the internal name if a SharePoint Column.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Hclor

What you need to do is to to use the Get Future Time action to get the time in 7 days as below

Then GetItems should look like below:

Expression 1:

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

Expression 2:

formatDateTime(body('Get_future_time'),'yyyy-MM-dd')

Note: Please note the single quotes around the formatdatetimeexpressions

Filter Query:
ge
formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),7),'yyyy-MM-dd')

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