Posted on by johnjohnPter 2,029 Season of Giving Solutions 2025
Inside Power Automate flow if i have a variable of type Array that stores ID-Title, as follow:-

[
"5-Open",
"9-Closed",
"3-With"
]


Now inside a Select action, which allow me to access the ID of a collection using:-

item()?['ID']

How i can get the title of the array item using the item()?['ID']? In other words how i can filter the array using formula? Can i benefit from XPath?

Thanks

    I usually filter the array. Here you can use the item()?['ID']  (write this as an expression) as well. You can make three Filter arrays where you filter the with Contains Closed, With, and Open.
     
     
    Does this help you?

    Thanks for the reply. I know about the Filter array action,, but i want to filter the array inside the exsisting Select action,, so i need to filter it using formula.. i think this is possible using XPath
