hi Guys

I need your help!! Following situation:

I created in airtable a table (name „Tagesmenu“) with this fields:

**Datum** Date in the format dd/mm/yyyy

**Kuchen01** Name of the cake of the day

**Kuchen02** Name of the day’s second cake

**Suppe** Soup of the day

**Speziell** Specialty of the day

 ![Thunkable01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/3/83ce2b766073e30890e4ac68d78374e2458768a7.jpeg)

Actually there are around 100 entries in the table.

As an example, I would like to get the row with today’s date and display Cake01, Cake02, Soup and Special.  
Get the actual date works:

My further dumb blocks don’t work … ☹  
To get the row in Table Tagesmenu with the actual date don’t work:

Can someone help me? thank you very much

Kind regards  
Anton

Two things to note here  
1)  
The if condition should be between the app variable and the object Datum. You are trying to retrieve the object that has Datum = app variable which is not available. So it should be  
App AktuellesDatum = get property Datum of object j

1. 

The default date format of Airtable is date and time together so first check the content of Datum in object and make sure it is in similar format to your app variable.

Happy Thunking 😁

Hey muneer  
Please excuse my late reply. I still have 4 grandchildren who provide action 😉

The problem was actually the date format, which did not match the settings made. The problem is solved Thank you for your help !!!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year
