check whether date is within 90 days of current date in filter query

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jason Yeung 38

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a filter in the filter query to check if a given record is within 90 days of the current date. I came up with the current code:

less(int(split(dateDifference(testDate,utcNow()), '.')), 90)

 

But when I run the Power Automate flow, it gives me a bad request error. I was wondering whether the above is correct to check for dateDiff?

    I found that Power Automate has some issues with referencing between two dates. I have had a lot more success converting the dates into "ticks". 

     

    I do this with a few extra steps, but it works every time when I do it this way. 

     

    1) Create a compose action for "Current Date": use the expression: Ticks(utcNow()). 

    2) Create a compose action for "90 Days": use the expression Ticks(adddays(utcnow, -90, 'MM/dd/yyy'))

    3) You can then reference these two outputs in your filter query. 

     

    You could potentially combine them all together into one formula if you are feeling bold. Hopefully that helps!

    In the expression less(int(split(dateDifference(testDate,utcNow()), '.')), 90) you are trying to convert an array to an integer 😉
