Review Date Due Confusion!

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hi All,

I'm getting myself in a muddle and need some help please.

I have a List that records when a request was received (Date 1) and when that request was last Reviewed (Date 2).

A review is due every 28 days on each Item in the List.

I've tried:

1. Check if Date 2 is null

2. If yes, Add 28 days to Date 1 (Date 3)

3. Format Date 3 as  yyyy-MM-dd

4. Compare Date 3 to UTCNow (less than or equal to)

5. If yes - email the team saying a review is due

6. If Date is not null, Add 28 Days to Date 2 (Date 4)

7. Format Date 4 as yyyy-MM-dd

8. Compare Date 4 to UTCNow 

9. If yes - email team saying next review due

 

But I keep getting false positives on records that aren't due a review.

 

Have I overcomplicated this!?

    Hi @NickDF88 

     

    For dates, i would always recommend to compare by taking difference. If you want to compare Date 3 is less than or equal to UTCNow()

    Then take the difference b/w the Date 3 and UTCNow() and see whether their difference is less than or equal to zero. If yes send email for review.

     

    For finding difference b/w dates, use ticks() function.

    Refer here - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Using-the-dateDifference-expression-or-ticks-to-find-difference/td-p/2195863
