Collect a datetime from an excel row list, with a for statement

[hgallardo]

Hi guys I need Help on my Flow:

I trigger it manually and after, it gets all the rows from a specific table,

after it runs a 'for' statement collecting all values and i put a condition when its less or same from the 'end of quarantine' to 'today'

If its true, it will delete the same row as the end of quarantine that it collected, afterwards it gives info to someone.

The problem is that it does not execute anything and when i do a test the 'end and start of quarantine' gets random numbers, how do I collect the same date from the excel?

Here is my screenshot

excel:

Thanks to the community!

Hi @hgallardo ,

When you use Excel online(Business) it will return date column values in a numbers so you need to convert into relevant date format. 

Use below formula to get your date .  

addDays('1899-12-30',int(items('Apply_to_each')?['{YOUR EXCEL COLUMN Name}']))

I have already shared this idea on ideas platform. 

Thanks

Hi @hgallardo ,

Could you please share a screenshot of the data in the excel table?

Does the date column in the excel table have the time? the date in excel table would be a string like "40443" in Microsoft flow currently

If the date column in the excel table don't have the time, you could format the string to date with type yyyy-MM-dd as @anupam8555  mentioned.

And hope the link below could be your reference:
