    Yes. Do the following:
     
     
    • In the above, Reminder represents the date field in your spreadsheet that you want to base the logic on. It is important to check the ISO 8601 date format in the Excel action, which is not selected by default. The filter query requires the use of ISO 8601 formatted dates.
    • The expression in the filter query is addDays(utcNow(),-180,'yyyy-MM-dd'). 
    • The condition checks to see if any items were found matching the filter query. The expression in the condition is length(outputs('List_rows_present_in_a_table')?['body/value']).
    • Then you would want to set your workflow as a scheduled flow that runs once per day at the time you want the e-mails to be sent.

    Thank you for the response.
    It says: Action ‘List_rows_present_in_a_table’ failed: Syntax error at position 5 in ‘21-17-2024’. Inner exception: Syntax error at position 5 in ‘21-17-2024’. ClientRequestId: [clientRequestId].
    I don’t understand why it is showing that date.

    I think one of my problems is that the date format is dd-mm-yyyy. Can you convert that to the standard format in Automate before using it?
