Getting an error message on a condition

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi!

I have developed several Flows using conditions.  For some reason, this one doesn't want to work properly.  I've created 2 different flows using the same conditional principles and they function well.  So, I'm hoping someone could help.  

At first I had an issue with the flow creating a row, but not filing in the data.  That was fixed temporarily and now I am getting the error below.  I tried to move things around, put in variables... and nothing is working.  

I appeciate any help or insights.

 

"Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition_3' at line '1' and column '17998': 'The template language function 'contains' expects its first argument 'collection' to be a dictionary (object), an array or a string. The provided value is of type 'Null'.'."

 

This is the FLOW:

Basically, once a form is filled in, the answers fit the conditions, I'd like to add a row to one of 2 tables.  The first will fill if the answer to the department is "Fly-In" and the other will fill if the answer does not meet any of the options. (The form has an "other" option.)

(Just for your info, I do not have access to creating items/lists on SharePoint nor can I add Flow to my excel document. I am also a self-taught "Flow"-er, so I may be doing this all wrong.)
