Excel to sharepoint list add dates

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 566
Hello,
I'm struggling to add dates from Excel to sharepoint list without success.
Here is the issue i have.
On excel file i have colums A with string values.
On column B i have date values (in french format: DD/MM/YYYY
When i upload this file my flow detects this workbook, then creates table and then i need to create elements on my sharepoint list for each string and date values.
for the string i use this expression to retrieve these values: item()?['COLA']
and for the dates i use this expression  : formatDateTime(
  addDays('1899-12-30', int(item()?['DATE'])),
  'dd/MM/yyyy'
)
The issue is that it only creates the first element for the first string and first date. but i have a total of  47 values to be added in my sharepoint list.
Please also note that i can have the same date for multiple cells and sometimes the same string multiple times in my workbook . it must import them all on my sharepoint list.
Could you help me please?

    In your Get Rows action for Excel, be sure to set DateTime Format as ISO8601. This will bring in the dates in yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ format, and you can work with them normally from there without worrying about serialized or integer dates.

    hi @Tomac ,
     
    Thank you for your reply, however i'm a newbie un power automate, so badly understand most of expressions about dates.
    Could you please send me a function or expression to get all the dates? and create elements with all the dates to my sharepoint list?

    @Sormick Sure!
     
    In your List Rows action, click Show Advanced Options:
     
    Using the New Editor, it will look like this:
     
    Then in the Advanced Options you'll see a drop-down for DateTime Format, choose ISO 8601:
     
     
    Now your dates will be imported as yyyy-MM-dd, so today would be 2025-11-20
     
    From there you can work with the date functions like normal:
    formatDateTime(item()?['DATE'],'dd/MM/yyyy')
    Without having to convert to integer or add days.
