Hi,

When using If Empty function under Select, it still gives Null (blank) value even IF condition is false.

if(empty(triggeroutputs()?['Next Due']),null, formatdatetime(triggeroutputs()?['Next Due'], 'yyyy-MM-dd'))

Please advise how I can fix.

Hi @Anonymous

Could you try the following expression?

if(equals(triggeroutputs()?['Next Due'],null),null, formatdatetime(triggeroutputs()?['Next Due'], 'yyyy-MM-dd'))

Ferran

Try to initialize a string variable with
triggeroutputs()?['Next Due']
Will you see any errors?

Hi @VictorIvanidze

Is this what you mean?
Under 'Select'
if(equals(variables('NextDue'),null),null, formatdatetime(variables('NextDue'), 'yyyy-MM-dd'))

Then, I get below error

OK it means the variable is successfully initialized. Now please show the value of NextDue variable after executing the flow.

Aha.
Use this in Select:
if(empty(variables('NextDue'),'empty', formatdatetime(variables('NextDue'), 'yyyy-MM-dd'))

My bad, sorry. Use this:
if(empty(variables('NextDue')),'empty', formatdatetime(variables('NextDue'), 'yyyy-MM-dd'))
