    formatDateTime(item()?['DueDate'],'yyyy-MM-dd')
    formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),3),'yyyy-MM-dd')
    item()?['Mail']
     
    Best Regards,

    quick question: is it ok if we keep the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' while writing the expression. Because the date format in excel column is in 'MM/dd/yyyy'
