Triggering task creation based on new excel date

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hi all,
I have a flow that I can run manually, but I am trying to set it up to automatically run 1 a day and to pull from a column and if there is an entry with the current date, create a task.
My flow hangs up on getting the data.
Specifically no data is found. I am relatively new to Power Automate but cannot work out how to get this setup, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You need to do two things:
    1. In the Excel action, set the DateTime Format to ISO 8601 format from the drop-down menu.
    2. Use the formatDateTime expression on the UTCNow date and format it as 'yyyy-MM-dd', which is the ISO8601 date format.
