Hi Community

I have a condition I'm stuck on and hoping someone can offer some support.

I have a flow that gets date information from a SP list and I want it to check some conditions before moving forward.
I want it to check date (Period From) if it is greater than date (Start Date) and less than date (End Date)
I also want it to check date (Period To) if it is greater than date (End Date) and less than date (StartDate)

I have used the following expressions in a condition but they throw back false so im slightly lost.

and(
greater(outputs('PERIOD_TO'),outputs('START_OF_ARCHIVE')),
less(outputs('PERIOD_TO'),outputs('END_OF_ARCHIVE')))

and(
greater(outputs('PERIOD_TO'),outputs('START_OF_ARCHIVE')),
less(outputs('PERIOD_TO'),outputs('END_OF_ARCHIVE')))

Condition Between dates issue

Please show how you have configured your flow. What you provided is somewhat helpful, but showing the configuration of the flow is more helpful. Based on what you've provided so far, you don't show the format of the dates. To use logic on dates, the dates must be formatted with the ISO8601 date format (yyyy-MM-dd) or it will not work.

Maybe I am missing something, but the two expressions highlighted in yellow look identical to me. What is the significance of showing this twice?

@David_MA Apologies for the late reply but that you for responding :)

It looks like the code pasted incorrectly for some reason it should have posted as and just the once:

and(
greater(outputs('PERIOD_FROM'),outputs('START_OF_ARCHIVE')),
less(outputs('PERIOD_TO'),outputs('END_OF_ARCHIVE')))

The flow is configured as below:

the date in the period from is:

formatDateTime(outputs('Get_item')?['body/PeriodFrom'],'dd-MM-yyyy')

the date in the period to is:

formatDateTime(outputs('Get_item')?['body/PeriodTo'],'dd-MM-yyyy')
