    Its now sending me the email reminder for every data line. I need the flow to only trigger if the expiry date is 60 days from today. Im not sure where Im going wrong here

     

    Sorry!!

    All the other lines are coming through the same.

     

    There are some bits of missing data but thats because its not been filled out in the excel table yet (see lines 14-16). Is this whats causing the problem? Do I need to remove all data lines that arent fully filled in?

    Hi @Jtaylor95 

     

    I can see the expiry date. Could you check all other expiry dates? Is that any missing any info?

     

    Thanks

    Hi I am having the following error:

     

    The 'start index' for function 'substring' must be equal to or greater than zero and must be less than '0' which is the length of the string.
