Dynamically Create List of Times

Question

I would like to dynamically create a list of times between a start and end time parameter. I will then use this list of times to pass into a for each activity in my pipeline and make iterative calls to an API. From my research I have not found any suggestions on how to go about this yet, any suggestions would be welcome.

Hello @DC-q489h2 ,
Thanks for the ask and using the Microsoft Q&A platform .

Let me underatand the ask , I think you have a startdatetime and you want to have all the time at regular intervals which is less then some enddatime . You want this to be in array , which you can pass to an foreach ( FE ) loop .

If my understanding is correct , you can acheive this by using a pipeline with Start and enddate parameters , create a variable of type array ( this will have all the time entries ) . One FE loop , which will iterate for N time and I am using the range function . I am using
addhours function . The logic is very simple , the below animation should help .
I am sharing the key dynamic exprtession which should help .

@range(1,10)      
@bool(less(pipeline().parameters.starttime,pipeline().parameters.Endtime))      
@addhours(pipeline().parameters.starttime,item())  

Please do let me know how it goes .
Thanks
