Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to create an automated email that is sent to staff when an item is past it's due date. My columns are Description, Cat, Lot, and ExpiryDate. I know power automate may work but I haven't had any success yet and I think the issue may be that there are some cells in the expiry date column that are blank or do not fit the date format. I can't fill these in unless there is a specific date, is there anyway around this, so it ignores the blank cells? I would be really grateful for any help! I would like the email to be sent out automatically every day at 9am (GMT) and I want the email to contain the Chemical Name Description, Cat No, Lot No, and ExpiryRetest Date. I want the email to be sent when the expiry date is reached, however, just ignore the cells that do not contain a date. I can't make up a date so need to keep these blank or with other information in them.

Thank you
