Get Items Filter Query Not Pulling Dates Correctly from SharePoint List

Posted on by kmaack

I have a flow that I want to pull data from a SharePoint list that are from a specific department, status is approved, and from the previous month. However, I can't get the filter query in the get items to pull all the records. I used the below today and it pulled almost the entire month of April except all records from April 30 and all but one record from April 29. I can't figure out why it didn't pull all from the date range.

Below is what I am using. The first "formatDateTime" is the following expression: formatDateTime(startOfMonth(getPastTime(1,'Month)),'M/d/yyyy')

The second "formatDateTime" is the following expression: formatDateTime(startOfMonth(utcNow()),'M/d/yyyy')

I plan on having this flow scheduled to run the first of every month to pull the data from the SharePoint list meeting the filter for the previous month.

I tried reading a few others posts, but they either were not quite the same or I didn't follow it.

Thanks!

Hi
one first thought, Is the date format correct?
You should check the sharepoint returned date format and them format the utcNow with the same format.

Hi @PowerAppsWizard

I believe it is! I did check how the dates were appearing in my SharePoint list date column and they show as m/d/yyyy. Below is a screenshot of a couple dates from the list.

Is my issue actually related to the limit that can be pulled for the get items action? I came across this when researching for a different issue I am having with a different flow. I believe I only have a standard license.
