Create an Excel file with a defined filename with a dynamic suffix in Sharepoint doclib

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by yojie 31

Hi,

I have a flow that creates a monthly Excel report from a Sharepoint list to a Sharepoint document library. At the moment, my flow produces a dynamic filename using guid (as below). But what I really need is to have a defined filename like: Monthly Report As Of [dd-MMM-yyyy]. Where: Monthly Report As Of is constant and [dd-MMM-yyyy] will be dynamic based on the current Reporting month.

Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this would be of great help! 🙂

 

Thank you in advance to whoever will respond to my query 🙂

    Hi @yojie ,

     

    You can use 

     

    @concat('Monthly Report As Of ', formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd-MMM-yyyy'), '.xlsx')
