Issue with filtering SP List

[simms7400]

Hello Folks -

I'm having an issue filtering a SP List.  I have a flow that should retrieve all row items from a SP greater than or equal to a certain date.

My "Filter Query" on my Get Items is as follows:

Create ge 'formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),variables('DayOfWeekVar')),'yyyy-MM-dd')'

My day of DayofWeekVar is currently set to -3.  Therefore, it reads:

Created ge '2020-11-23'

However, I have items in the list where Created date is 11/25.  What would be the reason those rows are not returning?

FYI:

Content Type	App Created By	App Modified By	Attachments	Workflow Instance ID	File Type	Created
Item						11/25/2020
Item						11/25/2020

Hi @simms7400,

Have you done any formatting or conversion with your Created field? Otherwise it probably still is in UTC time format.

Try and change the formatting of your expression to UTC instead:

Created ge 'formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),variables('DayOfWeekVar')),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')'

Hi @simms7400 

Interesting question. I never had issues with the above format which you using. I just tried now and I am getting the results as expected. Could you please try MM-dd-yyyy format and see whether that works?

Thanks

Hello @simms7400 ,

try to add 'Compose' action after the 'Get items' and put the 'Created' dynamic content inside. This way you'll see in the flow run history what format the 'Created' date has and you can adjust the format in the expression on the right side of the condition accordingly.

Thank you everyone. It seems to be a combination of the date format as well as UTC format.  It is now working correctly. Thank you for all of your help!!!
