Hi everyone!!!
Very basic question. I'm trying to compare a date coming from an excel file to 1st of January 2020.
In excel the cell is formated as dd/mm/yyyy, I suppose I need to define the date "01/01/2020" in another way...
Thanks a lot for your support

Hi @marvalar ,
If the format of the Date field is also dd/MM/yyyy, then "01/01/2020" can be used for comparison.
Please run Flow once, then check the Body of List row present in table action and check if the value output by Date field is number or date format value.
If it is number, then you can refer to the following method to convert the Date field to Date format and then compare.
If it is not a number, but a value in the format dd/MM/yyyy, then your current configuration is valid.
Best Regards,
Excel stores dates as integers and you need to do some work in order to use them in Power Automate. While the dates appear as dates in Excel, the data is actually an integer that represent the number of days since 1/1/1900.
Here is a link to a post with an explanation of how to handle dates from Excel.
