Issue with Conditional Check Using formatDateTime in Power Automate

Posted on by FarmaVIP

Hello everyone,

I'm building a flow in Power Automate that should trigger based on specific days of the month. I started by setting it up to run on the 25th, but I plan to add more days in the future.

To determine the current day, I'm using the expression formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd'). I then compare the output to my target days (for now, just the 25th).

Flow setup:

Problem: The expression result is always false.

I even try to use compose to see the output and it is 25, but the expression result is always "false"

I already try to use:
-formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd') equals '25'
-string(formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd')) equals '25'

Hi @FarmaVIP

You can try giving "25" in double quotes instead of 25 or '25'

String goes with "25" and integer goes with 25
