Get different date

[Tiffany-Jo]

HI

I want to know why I create the date of one share point list based on the other share point list.

We got different date.

Does that impacted by timezone?

I set recurrence trigger and use the expressions such as addDays(utcNow(), -3, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ').

could you please kindly give me some tips?

Hi @Tiffany-Jo 

Following your thread from here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Get-different-date/m-p/524021#M48594

This is definitely due to time zone issues. You need to change the regional settings on the sharepoint site to your region and then pass the date time values. 

You can check the troubleshoot in the post below:

Hi @Tiffany-Jo ,

Have you take a try with @Tiffany-Jo 's suggestion?

You could also take a try to add or sub the time zone difference on the utcNow() for troubleshooting this issue.

hi Thank you for you reply.

Hi @Tiffany-Jo 

You can use the convert time action for that: 

 Select your time zone from the destination time zone and use the output of this action. 

Hope this Helps!

HI Thank you. could you please kindly check if below setting is correct and tell how to update the expression highlighted in yellow.

Hi @Tiffany-Jo 

In the Format string option of the convert time action, select the value as highlighted in my previous response. 

In the expression, for the modified le field, you can add the expression as adddays(otuputoftheconvertedtime, -3)

Hope this Helps!

Hi @Tiffany-Jo ,

The expression should be as below:

addDays(body('Convert_time_zone'), -3, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

Or you could add the 9 hour to UTC time directly so you needn't the Convert time zone action:

addDays(addHours(utcNow(),9), -3, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

HI Thank you very much.

Could you please kindly tell if I could set as below( no change of expression).

It seems that Recurrence time zone is not working.

Hi @Tiffany-Jo ,

Update:

I have made a test just now and find the Time zone works on my side, and you could also take a try with it.
