Posted on by CheriV 30
Hi,
 
I am trying to delete rows in excel if data is more than 7 days old. So far, here is my flow.
 
 
Here is the Excel headers. Not sure if this is helpful:

flow - delete after 7 days.JPG

    Instead of calculating the Days since using an excel formula, set up the condition to check if the date in your Excel table is more than 7 days old.
    Your date column in Excel is named Date. You can use the following structure:
    Expression:
- left-hand side: `formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/Date'], 'yyyy-MM-dd')`
- right-hand side: `addDays(utcNow(), -7, 'yyyy-MM-dd')`

    Key column and Key Value is how to uniquely identify your row. In your case I assume the ‘Name’ column is unique and the value would be the name of the current row you are iterating through instead of ‘8’.

    Hi @ivan_apps, I am a total newbie and do not understand how this will look like in Power Automate. 
     
    The reason I put Days Since is equal to 8 is because I am assuming that all data older that is at least 8 days old will be deleted. Will this not work?
     
    Should I change the condition? I am unsure what you mean by left side and right side.

    I figured it out! I removed the condition and went straight to delete a row. It worked!
