I am looking to create a list of flow variables created in a current flow in PAD, is there a way to do this? I am have to do a lot of exporting of datatables into excel and the datatables are named based on the different spreadsheet tabs that the data will be imported into and so I want to create a loop.

    You cannot natively get the names of variables inside your flow. But if you have a dynamic list of objects, such as tables, you can simply build a list variable with Create new list and then add those tables to the list as you retrieve them.

    Hi
     
    In Power Automate Desktop (PAD), there’s an action called ‘Create a new list’, to add items you can use ‘Add item to list’ one by one or to add all your variables you can use the following syntax.







    Hope this helps. 
    Anthony.
