Passing date into Flow as parameter throwing error for SharePoint date column.
PowerApp Code -

Text(DataCardValue13.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]mm/dd/yyyy","en-US")

Error - string 'mm/dd/yyyy/' does not validate against format date,

In flow I've also used formatdatetime.

Code - formatdatetime(triggerBody()['Updatefileproperties_EndDate'],'mm/dd/yyyy')

But same result.

Any thoughts on this..?

Appreciate your reply on this.

Thank you.

SharePoint Dates are usually formatted yyyy-MM-dd

Need to use uppper case M for month since lower case m is minutes

try this

Text(DataCardValue13.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyy-MM-dd","en-US"),

Using all caps is not right and it should be year month day for SharePoint dates

I've tried below code and it worked. It's not the Upper Case vs Lower Case.

Text(DataCardValue13.SelectedDate, "[$-en-US]yyyy-mm-dd").
It's quite strange.
Thank you.

This worked for me, and note that my SharePoint time format is UK (dd/mm/yyyy), but once passed from PowerApps > Power Automate > SharePoint List the date was automatically converted from UK to US.

I've tried everything here and I still get the error?

I am not using a date picker, but simply text. When I try something like Text(ThisItem.To,"yyyy/mm/dd") I still get the STRING issue?

ThisItem is the SP List and To is a date text column?

This worked for me.
I removed the regional formatting before the "yyyy-mm-dd", and simply had the flow ask in PA for the date.
Text(DataCardValue4.SelectedDate,"yyyy-mm-dd")
