Move files to another folder by date created

[GJH]

I have a flow that creates a number of excel files each day in a folder that also contains python scripts.

At the end of the flow I want to move the excel files created that day into another folder

The Move action variable lists and sorts the files but i can't figure out how to move only those created today

This is  a sample list sorted in descending order

Hi @GJH 

Option 1:

Once you have a list of files, use "For each" loop and check "CreationTime" for each file

You can access it the following way: %File.CreationTime%

Option 2:

1. At the start of the flow - create list of the files in the fodler

2. At the end of the flow - create second list of the files

3. Find the delta using Subtract Lists

4. Move files

Variables actions reference - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

I would go with Option 2- cleaner, less code

Thank you. Yes your List option works well and is the better option - I dislike loops!
