SharePoint - wrong dates in list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DK_MSW 4

Hello,

I am new to Flow and I try to use it with our on-prem Sharepoint and I seem to do something wrong.

 

Following simple flow:

- Read a SP list, filters out everything that has today or less in single field.

- Create HTML table from it.

- Send email with HTML table.

 

Filtering logic looks fine, but output has a date with day before, ie. SP has 06.02.2019 - Email has 05.02.2019.

On testing runs, it seems wrong data are already picked in "Read from SP" step.

Out SP has UTC+1 time zone - can that be the problem?

If convert timezone is way to go, how can I just apply conversion to SP data and send correct result to HTML table?

 

Kind thanks for any advice!

    Hi @DK_MSW,

     

    How long is the time difference between your sharepoint lime and the utc time?

    What is the column in your sharepoint list to save the date?

     

    I have made a test to create a "Date" column in my sharepoint list to save the date.

    You could add the time difference in flow as screenshot below:

    The expression in the flow is as below if the time difference is 1 hour:

    addHours(item()?['Date'],1)

    The expression in the flow is as below if the time difference is 1 day:

    addDays(item()?['Date'],1)

    Hi,

    UTC difference - that was what confused me - we have UTC +1, but difference is a whole day.

    Your example was very helpful and I was able to achieve what was needed with AddDays expression.

     

    Thank You!
