    Hi! @cchan000 

     

    In that case you should use less than or equal to, depending on what you want. I found this solved post that might be helpful on what you are trying to do:

     

    Solved: Flow for Next Review Date within 30 days from toda... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

     

    They solved that using this:

     

    Use the formatDate function as you can see in the picture below in the red text and also the addDays Function

    You can change the highlighted text and use you Start Date Column in SharePoint here 

     

     

    Let me know if it this helps you!

    Hello @cchan000 

     

    If you want the flow to only run if those 4 conditions are met, then yes that should work.

     

    Let me know if that works.
