Comparing Date to today

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

I have an Excel spreadsheet hosted in SharePoint in which each instance in the table has a date associated with it. I would like the flow to send an email if that date is within 30 days of today.

 

I was trying a junky way by comparing the difference inside the spreadsheet and if that number is equal or less than 30 but that is giving me errors claiming to be comparing a string and a integer. 

 

Any advice is appreciated thanks.
