Status eq 'In Progress' or Status eq 'Completed'

and StartDate ge addDays(utcnow('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ'),-30) and StartDate lt utcNow('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

How can we create HTML table in power automate?

Once your flow is ready, click on the Save icon, then run the flow manually for testing purposes.

Step 9: Run the Flow

As we have set the flow to trigger on a monthly basis with the assigned date and time, at that date and time flow will start triggering.

Before that, if we want to test the flow, click on the test icon, then select manually -> click on done and then Run the flow.

Once your Flow ran successfully, you can check your outlook email and Microsoft Teams.

It will send the Project Report of the current month and also if the status of the Project should be completed or inprogress in Html table.

And also it will send a project report in HTML table to the Microsoft Teams.
