Posted on by bellotma

HI, I'm new in the forum and almost new in Power Automate.

I need to compare two dates. One comes from an excel table where the format is dd/MM/yyyy (e.g. 28/06/2022). When reading the table in the flow I set the DateTime format as follows

I set a string variable with this date:

and then setting the condition as follows:

When I run the flow I get the error message:

Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition' at line '0' and column '0': 'In function 'formatDateTime', the value provided for date time string 'translationend' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format.'.

What I should do?

@bellotma to solve the issue i recommend to use compose action where you can pass the date value you in compose action. So it will give you the idea what output you're getting. then after you can modify your format date time expression.

@bellotma In formatDateTime() you are passing string 'translationed' which is incorrect. you should select variable from dynamic content.
