    Hi @Bhavishka Sathawane ,

    maybe these 2 scripts are helpful to get started.

    Get Azure VMs:

    $vm = Get-AzVM  
    $vm | ForEach-Object {  
        if ($($_.Tags.decommission)) {  
            $DecommissionDate = $_.Tags.decommission  
            Write-Output "DecomissionDate for $($_.Name) = $DecommissionDate"  
        }  
        else { Write-Output "DecomissionDate for $($_.Name) is unknown" }  
    }  
    

    Get All Azure Resources:

    $resources = Get-AzResource  
    $resources | ForEach-Object {  
        if ($($_.Tags.decommission)) {  
            $DecommisssionDate = $_.Tags.decommission  
            Write-Output "DecomissionDate for $($_.Name) = $DecommissionDate"  
        }  
        else { Write-Output "DecomissionDate for $($_.Name) is unknown" }  
    }  
    

    The variable `$DecommissionDate contains the value as a string.
