Hi,

Here is my flow

for forum1.png for forum2.png

The expression configured inside single quotes:

addDays(utcNow(),1)
addDays(utcNow(),30)

the error im getting is

for forum3.png

The full error message is -(a little bit of identifying info)

{
 "status": 400,
 "message": "The expression \"DueDate\r ge '2019-10-15T10:19:02.3969724Z'\nDueDate\r le ''2019-11-13T10:19:02.3969724Z\" is not valid.\r\nclientRequestId: 48286b9f-2f2f-47dc-ae06-a7f75f770f81\r\nserviceRequestId: 48286b9f-2f2f-47dc-ae06-a7f75f770f81"
}

I just wish to build a flow that creates a new item in another list if the duedate is between the range of date. Any help would be appreciated

Try adding an 'And' between your two query settings. You can only submit one query filter on a Get items and you are trying to input two query strings.

Can you break this down a little more?

You mean the word 'And" or the , or ; & ? sorry if im sounding daft. Its probably something simple right in front of me that im just not seeing, ive been on this problem for the last 16hours.

I mean the word and in lowercase letters. The filter you are looking to implement is that a date is greater than this date and less than this date. You have to present the filter as a single query. Also, in looking back at your screenshot, double check the location of the ' (single quotes) around your datetime formulas. The second one seems to be misplaced. Here's an example of one that works for me.

DueDate ge '@{addDays(utcNow(),1)}' and DueDate le '@{addDays(utcNow(),30)}'

gives me the exact same error

{ "status": 400, "message": "The expression \"DueDate\r ge '2019-10-15T13:19:22.2547901Z' and\nDueDate\r le '2019-11-13T13:19:22.2547901Z'\" is not valid.\r\nclientRequestId: 7a929901-73ab-4828-86c8-386296912f70\r\nserviceRequestId: 7a929901-73ab-4828-86c8-386296912f70" }
The whole amount of my google searching and expiermenting the last two days is saying this should work.. im starting to think its a date code issue, curiously can run that test flow above and screenshot the sucess of the date columns? im in Aus and i take it you in US? id yours doesnt show the time stamp on the success? ge '2019-10-15T13:19:22.2547901Z'

First thing I would try is to remove the carriage returns from your filter (the \r that shows in the error message.) Also, make sure there is a space between the 'and' and the second DueDate AS you can see mine is all on one line (the \n that shows in the error message.)

Here's what my query looks like in the successful run.

TestDate le '2019-11-13T12:29:12.7872344Z' and TestDate ge '2019-07-31T12:29:12.7872344Z'

Yours looks like this

DueDate\r ge '2019-10-15T13:19:22.2547901Z' and\nDueDate\r le '2019-11-13T13:19:22.2547901Z'

As you can see it automatically formats for UTC, rather than the US region. So I don't think its a data time formatting issue. I'm assuming that DueDate is a SharePoint datetime column right?

Other than that I don't see any differences.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you please share a full screenshot of the configuration of your current flow?

Have you take a try with @Pstork1 's solution?

What is the full expession in the Filter Query field in the Get items action?

Please don't add extra text or space in the Filter Query field in the Get items action, also please take a try with @Pstork1 's solution and let me know if your problem could be solved.
