When dealing with Dates and Times in Excel you need to ensure that you select ISO 8601 as the DateTime format in the List Rows Present in a Table action.
It's always best practice to filter out the rows you want to loop through first. You can define a Filter query in the Filter Query field of the List Rows Present in a table action. This action will only accept a single filter query. You also need to ensure that the text in your column header you are using in the filter query field doesn't contain any spaces.
If you need to filter out your data by more than one condition, you'll need to use a Filter Array action. I've linked a few tutorials that you might be interested in below.
