HI,

I need to check that the current date is between 2 dates in a last (start date and To date)

I have tried the usual if greater than or equal and less than or equal but nothing works the query always returns no results

Anyone know how to do this?

Hi @chrismccarthy1 

 

  1. The 2 dates in the SP List. Confirm that the days are of DateTime type.
  2. Can you post a screenshot of the Query

Hi @chrismccarthy1 

Here is an example of comparison. Instead of using dates from the SP List, I will just create variables and set the date values in this example. You should use Dates from the SP columns - however pls verify that DateTime1 <= DateTime2 otherwise the expression will always return False or No

  1. Use a Set Workflow Variable action to create 3 Datetime variables.
    Datetime1 - This is the start Date. 1-Apr
    Datetime2 - This is the end Date. 10-Apr
    DateToday - This is the current Date
  2. Check if DateToday is between Datetime1 and Datetime2.
    Datetime1 <= DateToday <= Datetime2
    Use a Conditional Branch to enter the following expression.

Final Code.

Hi @chrismccarthy1 

That works too. Your query expression is correct.

I suspect that perhaps the FromDate is greater than the ToDate
or the dtCurrent date is outside of the FromDate < ToDate range.
Use control values for the Dates. FromDate is 1 Jan 2023, ToDate is 31 Dec 2023. 

Use the Conditional Branch. Place a Log to History at both outcome Yes and No. 
Use another Log to History to display the values of all 3 dates
