Hello,

Please format your date as 'yyyy-MM-dd' before using the 'Add days' function.

@Nived Nambiar

Answer to your 1st Question. Correct: set variable action in flow is used for updating the StartDate based on compose action output.

Answer to 2nd question: If I enter in Power App Sick leave for 2 days (07/10/2024 and 08/10/2024). It create 2 entries in SharePoint List but Date is same in both entries.

You need to provide more details:

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but you just say "Do until loop not Working" but do not say what is not working. So, first of all, what's not working? Are you getting any error messages. What do you expect it to do that it is not doing?

How are you formatting the StartDate? It must be formatted in ISO8601 format. The expression to add days should automatically format as ISO8610.

However, the do until condition does not make sense to me. Why would the start date ever be greater than adding 1 day to the end date? Normally a start date comes BEFORE an end date. That could be your issue.

Any maybe I am interpreting your flow incorrectly, but it looks like you are just creating an item in SharePoint until it meets your condition. Why are you repeatedly creating the same item in your SharePoint list until the start date is greater than or equal to the end date? There is not even a delay in your do until, which you will need, or it is going to do it 60 times and then timeout.
