Create SP List Item Weekly - Set Date and Time

[RachelPalya1]

Hello, 

This one has me a little stumped.  I am trying to create a Power Automate that runs weekly, which will create SharePoint list items at set days of the week and times (for that week).  So for example the logic will pull the date for Tuesday that week and set the time at 9:00 AM.  I can't seem to the find the right combinations of functions to do that. Any help is appreciated!

Hi @RachelPalya1 how are you?

@RachelPalya1 if I understood you requirement, a Power Automate flow, running weekly will create a SharePoint list item for each day on the current week at 9:00. Is that correct?

If so, create a scheduled Power Automate flow Run flows on a schedule - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs 

Add a condition to run 7 times, one for each day of the week and inside it create the SharePoint item. Also you can use the Date and Time connector to calculate the current day plus the variable control inside this condition control, maybe a do loop Using the Do Until Function - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

This is the connector Working with Dates and Times inside of your flows | Blog do Power Automate (microsoft.com)

Hi Rodrigo, 

Thank you for the reply.  So I have a SharePoint list column that is a date and time field.  I want to create a record and set the start time as a specified date and time for that week.  I currently am able to do that but now I am running into time zone issues.  Do you know how to set the time zone to central time in the formula below?

Thanks!!!!!

formatDateTime(subtractFromTime(addDays(utcNow(), 1), dayOfWeek(utcNow()), 'Day'), 'yyyy-MM-dd 06:15')
