Build a specific date in the current year?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 249

I have a SP list where I want to populate date fields with a date this year, for example, 1/1/2019. 1/1 is always the same but 2019 is dependent on the current year when the Flow is run. Is there any way to build this as a date value? I have been looking into utcNow() but seems like you can only get the exact current date or specify a month, date, and year.

    Looks like it just converts automatically

    Typed 1/1/ and then with no spaces this expression: formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy')
