How to Update a Row

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Aazza 108

I have set up a multi approval process and want to update a row every time someone either rejects or approves the request. However, I keep coming up against this error.

action update a row failed.png

Can anyone help? Could it be because the colums on the row i want to update have nothing in them? As i added these colums to my excel spreadsheet and then wanted to update the row with the response of the users who are either approving or rejecting the process.row i want to update.png

    Hello, @Aazza!

     

    It seems like the error is indeed related to an empty cell. Any chance you could add a condition to check if the cell is empty? Microsoft Flow: Make a condition to check for empty fields or null values — SharePoint Simply (spsimply.com)

     

    In any case, could you please share a screenshot of how you configured this? It could shed some light on what 

    might be causing this issue! 

     

    Cheers!
