I am trying to send a daily automated email from a 3DAYREMINDER column in excel. This is what the whole query looks like that is failing.
3DAYREMINDER  eq ' @{formatDateTime(convertFromUTC(utcNow(), 'Eastern Standard Time'), 'MM/dd/yyyy')}
 
PLEASE HELP IT's DRIVING ME INSANE :)

    Note how your single quotes are misplaced and one is missing.
     
    Should be  '3DAYREMINDER'  eq '10/04/2024'
     
    Although the column name likely should come without quotes.
     
    Pro tip:  Never start a column name with a number.
