Power Automate Excel list of rows Date format not ISO 8601

Posted on by Wolfie82 22

 

Hi, 

 

I have a flow which is working which will auto send email for Due Date within 30 days.

But when I replaced with the a different excel file. The date format is not ISO 8601 so the rest of my flow does not works. 

 

Anyone could advise how to get the Due Date to become ISO 8601

    Hi @Sundeep_Malik ,

     

    I have tried the code with the empty date. But it failed at row 5, which the cell contains '-'.

    May I know how to handle '-' and blank date as well ?

     

    Also after the Due Date is converted from the string, I would like to use filter array to filter out those with blank and cell with '-' and Due date within 30days.

     

    Can i know if the converted dates can be apply using the below filter array expression. 

     

    @if( not(or(equals(item()?['DueDate'],'-'),equals(item()?['DueDate'], ''))), less(item()?['DueDate'],formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),30),'yyyy-MM-dd')), false )
