Hi Experts

I'm totally novice at Power Automate. Just shifted from Mac Automator to Power Automate.

I often need to change Files Names to Title Case on my Desktop. Tried using 'Change Text Case' but that doesn't seem to work.

Please help with the same.

Thanks a lot 🙏

First use Get files in folder to get the files you want to rename to Title case.
Then use that in for each loop.
When the change text case has produced the variable with correct casing:

Use that in Rename File(s) -action.

Like so:

@eetuRobo Thanks for helping

I had one additional enquiry in continuation to the above.

I tried to use your method -

When I do exactly as advised, it works fine.

But at times I need to use it in the middle of a flow (screenshot attached). At that time it gives error - Unable to rename file.

Please help

Thanks a lot 🙏

No worries!

I answered this in your new thread but I put bit more simple way in my opinion here:

Code to copy (remember to change the first actions initial folder):
Display.SelectFileDialog.SelectFiles Title: $'''Choose Files''' InitialDirectory: $'''C:\\Users\\x''' IsTopMost: False CheckIfFileExists: False SelectedFiles=> SelectedFiles ButtonPressed=> OpenFiles File.RenameFiles.RenameReplaceText Files: SelectedFiles TextToReplace: $'''_''' ReplaceWith: $'''%' '%''' IfFileExists: File.IfExists.DoNothing RenamedFiles=> R000 SET oNames TO R000 IF OpenFiles = $'''Open''' THEN LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN oNames Text.ChangeCase Text: CurrentItem.NameWithoutExtension NewCase: Text.CaseOption.TitleCase Result=> nName File.RenameFiles.Rename Files: CurrentItem.FullName NewName: nName KeepExtension: True IfFileExists: File.IfExists.DoNothing RenamedFiles=> R002 END END
