900121 Verify Account Position WI1 Open 2018-08-19
620454 Generate Yearly Report for Vendor WI4 Completed 2018-06-19

I think you caught the requirement little differently.
When you are appending you row to the output file you have to compare each row date value with the date.
In your condition you can use a date convert.
[CDate(item(5).ToString) > CDate('2018-01-01')

Hi @vekatesh_chowdary

Use the below condition

dt1.Select(“Status=‘Open’ AND Type=‘WI2’ AND Date > ‘2018-01-01’”).CopyToDataTable

Refer the below workflow

@vekatesh_chowdary Try This :

DataTable.Select(“[Status]=‘Open’ and [Type]=‘WI2’ and [Date] > ‘2018-01-01’”).CopyToDataTable

You will get DataTable and then directly you can write that dataTable into excel.

Thank you …
Your statement is giving the expected result.
I have two questions here… Is the program automatically considering Date column as date datatype or is it considering only as string while compared?
Also while writing to excel dt is writing all the columns. I need only selected columns to write into excel. like only status Type and Date

Hi @vekatesh_chowdary

It considers it as generic value

For this use the below condition

Datatable.defaultview.totable(false,“Columnname1”,“Columnname2”,“Columnname3”) and store the output in datatable.
