Power Automate: getFutureTime function
Returns the current timestamp plus a number of time units. Always counts from UTC now.
Problem Solved is one of my favorite sections, or at least the one I have the most fun writing. This is where I solve a problem that bugged me for a while and hand you the solution, so you do not have to burn time hunting for it. Every post stays within the theme of the site, so do not expect general programming fixes here. I call it Problem Solved because it is my way of saying fixed, let us move ahead. These posts are sporadic, since there is not always something worth publishing. Depending on the subject, I either slot them into the regular Tuesday and Friday schedule when they fit the theme, or give you an extra article that week. I write a new one as soon as I have a fresh fix to share.
