Date time comparison is not working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by AnantaYogi 45

Hi All,

I have requirements to check if particular date time has been expired or in past. So I'm using control components in power automate but it seems it's not working for time. I realised it's working fine for dates but I also need to compare time. 

Output for below formula is

06/07/2022 06:16 PM

06/07/2022 12:15 AM

So obviously first date is greater than second one but anyhow power automate is not considering AM PM. And it evaluate outcome as false.

If I give both time in PM or AM it works fine.

Any idea how we can achieve it?

    Hi AnantaYogi,

    You can change the time on a 12-hour clock to a time on a 24-hour clock and then compare it.

    The entire process is set up as follows:

    1.Enter the time you want to compare.

    2.Initialize variable

    Change the time on a 12-hour clock to a time on a 24-hour clock.

    formatDateTime(triggerBody()['text'],'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')

    formatDateTime(triggerBody()['text_1'],'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')

    3.Add ‘condition’ step. Compare the variables that you just changed.
