    Hi @Priyanka03 ,

     

    It's exactly the way to check file names between email attachments and OneDrive files. But these controls need to be included in a Apply to each control, in case there are multiple attachments in the Email. The dynamic content within Condition control should be Attachments Attachment Name from trigger.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi Jefferni,

     

    Thank you for your help.

     

    Could you please help me with the date. My excel spreadsheet has applied the formula and it looks like date format but when i checked in the flow it shows output created date: 44577 instead of date format.

    How to overcome this? I would like to select the current month and current year in the spreadsheet

     

    Thanks

    Hi @Priyanka03 ,

     

    Please share the entire flow you have created, so that I understood your scenario. There is nothing related to an Excel table in the original post. 

     

    If you are using list rows present in a table action, please select ISO8601 for DateTime format.

    @v-jefferni ,

     

    Please find the screenshot

     

    I have the excel column created which contains the date format, i need to select the drop down of current year current month and previous date for checking the records. Could you please let me know how to do it. I'm able to convert the date format but i'm not sure how to select only the current month and current year and previous date.

    Hi @Priyanka03 ,

     

    You'd better post another topic in the forum so that all the users are able to see and help you with it.

     

    I don't understand how you would like to select the drop down of current year current month and previous date for checking the records. Where do you want to apply this functionality, in a Flow?
