Create an even is not posting into all dates

Hi
 
I'm using this lovely action - The problem is - if it is a 2 day holiday for example 16/12/2024 - 17/12/2024 it is only posting the event in 16/07/2024
 
Same with others, it always posts the last date in the day before...

    Try: Add 1 day to the end date
     
    This is because:
     
    Start time: 2024-12-16 actually means 2024-12-16T00:00 midnight
    End time: 2024-12-17 actually means 2024-12-17T00:00 (midnight)
     
    The end date needs to be: 2024-12-18 (2024-12-18T00:00)

     The issue you are experiencing in your "Create event (V4)" action within Power Automate often happens due to how the Start time and End time are calculated or passed. This causes a mismatch, particularly when dealing with multi-day events or inclusive ranges. Outlook calendar events treat Start time and End time as an exclusive range, Try below solution
     
     
    1. In the Create event (V4) action, ensure the Start time is set to the first day at midnight:
        formatDateTime(variables('StartDate'), 'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00')
        
    2. For End time, use an expression to add one day to the last day and set the time to 00:00:00:
        formatDateTime(addDays(variables('EndDate'), 1), 'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00')
        
    3. Use the adjusted Start time and End time in the action.
     
    4. Verify the Time Zone matches the desired location.
     
    This ensures the event spans all days and ends at 23:59 on the final day.
