Power Automate Flow failing to create Excel report due to DOT in column name

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

HI All. 

Please help me with your expertise as I am stuck for a while.

 

I have a requirement to create a flow that should generate an excel file dynamically and email it. My report contains a "." in the column name. For e.g., ''Traded.Amount'' but the flow is failing at 'Apply to each' step. 

 

If I remove the "." from the column header, it works. 

 

Please find the attached  'Apply to each' step and the error message.

 

PBI Version: 2.115.663.0 64 bit (March 2023)

 

Regards

 

Ahmad
