Hi there – please can someone help me get this flow to run.
The flow runs daily and references a SharePoint list and looks for a date in one of the columns [Probation] to be equal to today’s date. If it finds a date that is equal to today it sends an email listing data from the records the query has found.
I am using a query rather than a condition as follows:
But I get this error message: "The expression \"Probation eq'2019-11-03\" is not valid.
Thanks so much
Graham
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @grahamsimmons,
It looks like you're missing the whitespace between eq and the first single quote before your variable. Additionally, you're missing a closing single quote after your variable.
Can you try adding those missing pieces and re-run your Flow?
Edit: Added Screenshots for your reference!
Thanks!

Hi @AKRogers
That worked perfectly Ashley - thank you so much and for gettng back so quickly.
Getting this simple expression right will have a number of useful applications in our organisation. For more advanced users like yourself this was probably easy but for beginners like me this forum is an incredible help.
One last point - if I reverse the date format in the expression to dd-MM-yyyy the flow when tested completes ok but the email doesn't come through. If I go back to the yyyy-MM-dd format it works fine. Is there a solution that enables using other date formats?
Thanks again
Graham
