Solved: Find Element in Array and get Position ID

Hello, community,

in Power Automate, I'm looking for a simple way to find a word (or element in general) in my array and get its position ID.

So let's say, I have this array:

[

"A",

"B",

"C",

"D",

"E"

]

I want to search for "C" and get its position ID, so "2". Is there a simple way to achieve that?

Best regards,

Dog

Hi all,

I saw this problem being referenced on Reddit and thought I could provide you with a solution. I've started with the array, followed by a select that uses range starting at 0, using length of the array for the number of values, 0,1,2,3,4. Note that the index for an array starts at 0. I create a string key based on the position from range outputs('compose')?[item()] and position based on the range item().

This is what the flow run for select creates:

Using filter array, I can search for the string value "Pie" based on equalling item()['String'] i.e. the key created in the select. This will return one object in the array and by using first, we can return the position first(body('Filter_array'))?['Position']
