Filter Query - Get Rows from SQL Server

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone,

I want to Get Rows from SQL Server that have been created precisely three days ago.

The data type of the column in SQL is date (no time).

I tried the following, and the flow ran successfully, but I don't get any rows?

Date_x0020_Install eq '@{addDays(utcnow('yyyy-MM-dd'),-3)}'

The name of the column in SQL has space. That's why I have added "_x0020_".

Thank you in advance 🙂

hi @Anonymous with your expression you have this output

2020-09-18T00:00:00.0000000

So I if you need just the date you can try with this expression:

first(split(addDays(utcnow('yyyy-MM-dd'),-3),'T'))

and your output could be like this:

2020-09-18

Hi @ChristianAbata

The flow ran successfully, but again I didn't receive any rows.

My table has data from that date, so that isn't a problem.

@ChristianAbata Yes, I have data from that date.

You had a colon between T and 0 in your expression. I assume that is incorrect?
I removed it, and it still doesn't work.

weird @Anonymous just to test something more, could you leave your SQL silter empty and then after this action can you add a filter array and test with the expression that I gave you?

@ChristianAbata Doesn't work either. But I removed the filter and tried to search after the specific date in the output with CTRL + F, and it seems like I don't get all the rows from SQL.

If I search "Date_x0020_Install", then it can only find 1689 rows, and I have a lot more rows in the table in SQL.

Can it be true that there is a limit?
