Posted on by Priyanka03 2

Hi All,

 

I have an issue with date column of if statement

 

Compose 1 Date: 02/15/2024 which is current date

Compose 2 Date: 12/20/2023 which is previous year and Dec Month

 

if(compose 2 greater than compose 1) = False

Unfortunately the flow is telling True is that power automate bug?

 

if i tried the same year like 01/10/2024 as a current date and 02/15/2024 it showing the right branch as true

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks.

    In this scenario, format the two dates and create a condition based on them.

    formatDateTime(outputs('Compose_2_Date'), 'yyyy-MM-dd') 

    formatDateTime(outputs('Compose_1_Date'), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
