I am trying to compare today using the the current time with the dates in a text column in sharepoint formatted mm-dd (01-31). Yet don't know how to just compare with the month & date as the year is not available. anyone know how I would go about this.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Use expression formatDateTime(utcNow(),'MM-dd') which will give you based on todays date in the format of month - date.
