Date Condition always false

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 302

I have a date and time column - 2 Day Notice

and a condition that checks if 
2 Day Notice is equal to utcnow('MM/dd/yyyy') 

&

Status is equal to 'Manager Notified'

 

Then it sends an email - but everything is returning false.

    Hey there so for example when i was adding the condition. 
    I was adding Status which kept throwing me false. You need to choose Status Value (if it's a choice column)

    So if youre trying to run a condition based off a choice column choose the <Column Name> Value.

    hi there! I realized I was using Status which is a choice column so in my condition i should be using Status Value.

    Once changing it to Status Value it validated correctly.

    Hi @honganhuynh1,

    Could you please show some screenshots about your columns '2 Day Notice' and 'Status' in your dataset and your condition formula in order to help you better?

    There is usually time difference between date in Datasource like SharePoint list and Power automate.

    The default Time zone in SharePoint is based on your site region settings.

     

    Best Regards,

    Kyrie
