Having trouble in moving specific file with variables to another folder

Posted on by Mani1205 44

Hi Team,

I am trying to move the sharepoint excel file from one folder to another folder.

Every Monday there will be a file eg
Folder 1: Test1_20230522,
Folder 2 : Test2_20230522  ( current week Monday date will be at the end ) and would like to put a schedule like on Fridays these file should be moved another folder called Folderfinal and consolidated to one file

Found out to get a Current week Monday date using 

formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),sub(1,dayOfWeek(utcNow()))),'yyyyMMdd')  

I am not able move specific file Test1_20230522 folder 1 to Folderfinal ( my aim is consolidating a the end by finding the specific files ) - Pls provide me your suggestions using flow

    Hi @Mani1205 

     

    You are saying that other files are moved to that destination folder not the specific one right ?

    Basically, I have 5 folders where i need to find out specific files within folder using dynamic date ( ex format : test_dynamicdate   , test_20230607.xlsx , like wise other folder has the files) and move them to one folder and consolidate it ... I got stuck in moving the file itself - pls help.
