How to get Powerautomate to consider an excel cell to be 'empty'?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6
Hello...
 
I have a series of PA flows that creates new rows in an excel table, and then a later flow adds some data to this table so long as the value of one of these newly created cells is null.
 
The problem I am encountering is that the condition to detect if this cell is empty doesn't seem to consider the excel cell to be empty, so the branch never runs, even though when I look at the spreadsheet, it seems empty to me.
 
Are there some tricks I need to do in order to make sure that it's -truly- empty?
