As you have already extracted the date from the filename you would just need the comparison date.
Assign ComparisonDate = Today.AddDays(-7)
Then use a flow decision or IF activity, ExtractedDate > ComparisonDate Then…
Do what you would like to do with the excel

Comparison should be both DateTime variables so you would need to convert your SpltDteFromPath from string to DateTime before doing the comparison

I’m not sure what is your computer dateformat but for example your string SpltDteFromPath is 09192020 manipulate that to be in your date format e.g. 09/19/2020 then assign SpltDteFromPath to “09/19/2020” & “00:00:00” and then convert it to datetime
