How do I set my recurrence to the last week of the month

[JBennett12]

I am trying to make a flow that will run on the last week of the month. Since every month will be different, I don't just want to pick a day. I would rather have it run a week before the end of the month. Is this possible? I didn't see how to select anything besides a date.

Thank you,

Hi there, 

I think what you'll typically find as a recommendation for this situation is to run the flow on a daily schedule, then make a condition for it to continue running if it's the correct day, and end if it isn't. 

Now, what to put in that condition, you'll find different opinions. Myself, I like to make a list to reference. Then all I have to do is query the list and say "hey PA, are any of these dates = today? If so, run the flow." 

Other folks like to use expressions in a Compose to see if it's specifically, for example, the last day of the month. I think that in itself would be easy - but I'm not sure on your exact need since you're saying "a week before the end of the month."  

Is that 7 days?

7 business days?

5 business days?

What if that day lands on a saturday, sunday, or holiday - do you still want it to run?

Those kinds of fun questions spring to mind..
