Posted on by Giorgio67 145

Hi everybody

in a Excel file I have a data so format 4/13/24 16:30 PM (m/dd/yy and Time)

I need to convert it i 'yyyy-mm-dd' only date without time

I have put this to filter the file

"$filter": "@{formatDateTime('Start_x0020_Date','yyyy-MM-dd')} GE @{triggerBody()['date']}"

 but I get this error: 

'In function 'formatDateTime', the value provided for date time string 'Start_x0020_Date' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601

Many thanks

    No, so easy😂

    to fix I have create a filter (@and(greaterOrEquals(formatDateTime(item()?['Start Date'], 'yyyy-mm-dd'), formatDateTime(triggerBody()['date'], 'yyyy-mm-dd')), lessOrEquals(formatDateTime(item()?['Start Date'], 'yyyy-mm-dd'), formatDateTime(triggerBody()['date_1'], 'yyyy-mm-dd')))

    and un SELECT to get only value that I want

    Many thanks ScottShearer for suggest
