How to create a daily flow, and to process only if system date is equal to a date in an array

(0) ShareShare

Hello.  I am totally new to Power Automate.  I was able to create a flow to run each day and email a file.  I want to modify it such that it runs each day but does a compare to see if the run date is equal to any of the dates within an array value inside a compose function.  I would hard code the dates into the array value.   If the run date is in the array, then continue processing, else stop processing.  This would repeat each day.  I am not sure on how to set up the array of dates and in what format, and how to do the compare of the run date to see if it's equal to any of the dates in the array.  Are there any examples on how to do this?  Thanks for any help.

    @wearsky ,Thanks for the help.  It works!.  I would like to get it to work such that it can read the dates from an Excel file placed on Sharepoint or shared network.  I assume this can be done.  Don't know if I have to read the dates from Excel into an array first and then process, or if I just read the Excel file one row at a time.  If there are any examples, that would be great.  Thanks!
