-Action

The Action parameter filters the report by the action taken on messages. To view the complete list of valid values for this parameter, run the command: Get-MailFilterListReport -SelectionTarget Actions. The action you specify must correspond to the report type.

-EndDate

The EndDate parameter specifies the end date of the date range.

Use the short date format that's defined in the Regional Options settings on the computer where you're running the command.
