Dynamically Get Value of an Excel Column from a Dynamic spreadsheet

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 36

Hello,

 

I am having an issue with what (to me) seems like a simple problem.  Maybe I am overcomplicating the situation, but any help would be appreciated.

 

Problem:

I am trying to get the value (Name of a Team) from a column (NameofTeam) from a static table (Table1) where the Excel spreadsheet is created dynamically in the current flow I am developing.  

 

I have seen multiple posts that are able to get a column value where the file is static, the list is static, etc but, not for a dynamic Excel spreadsheet.

 

Steps in Flow:

  1.  List Teams
    1. I am getting a list of all the Teams in my environment
  2. Get file Content
    1. I am retrieving a template Excel file that contains two columns ("NameofTeam" and "FiscalYearEnd")
  3. Create File
    1. I am creating a unique Excel file for use later to populate it with the names of Teams in my environment
  4. Apply to each
    1. For each Team in my environment I am:
      1. Checking against a condition where the Team Name contains the text "Client ID"
        1. If yes
          1. Add a row into a table
            1. adds that Team name to the spreadsheet created in step 3 where the condition is met
        2. If No - excludes from spreadsheet
  5. List Rows present in Table
    1. Gets a list of all the rows in the newly created spreadsheet in step 3 so that I can use the data in the flow

This is where I run into an issue. I want to be able to use the Team name for referencing in the flow to accomplish a couple of things. The "NameofTeam" data is clearly there (see below), but I can't figure out how to get it into a variable or compose function to use it. I have tried various methods and posts (for static sources), but all I return is a blank value for the "NameofTeam." 

 

List rows present in a table

- available data is highlighted in yellow.  I want to get that value (and the other 15 for each row in the table) into some variable or compose function.

    @Jaison11  so you want to get NameofTeam from each row of List rows present in table? If you want to get values from each row, then i think you can initialize variable on top of flow with type array. Then add Apply to each action to loop through get row of List row action, then inside apply to each, add Append to array variable to add NameofTeam to array.
