Using variables in Power Automate Desktop

Posted on by Intrinsic

I am trying to use a flow variable in my Power Automate script. Power Automate treats the flow variable reference as a literal and does not resolve the variable's value.

The value of NewVar2 is: Hello %sample%

I am trying to achieve in NewVar2:

Hello hello this is a test of a string

I have tried: Hello + %sample%, Hello '%sample%', Hello "%sample%", Hello "'%sample%'" with similar results

I understand. It seems that Power Fx was enabled when you created your flows. To resolve this issue, please disable it and recreate your flow from scratch and follow the same syntax as mentioned in the previous post or MS document it will work now.

Thanks,
Deenu
