Excel sending empty "{}" rows into power automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 31

Hello!

 

I have a flow that has the "for a specific row" trigger. This flow has worked fine in the past, but now for some reason, it broke. When I run the flow from my Excel file, instead of sending the row information, the displayed entity is an empty "{}". Has anyone seen this issue before? And how can I solve this? This has never happened before, and nothing has changed in neither the flow or the document.

    The video doesn't seem to cover my issue. Here are some screenshots of the flow, though there are some "Initialize Variable" that I did not include to the sake of brevity. Also, the second screenshot is nestes inside a "Switch" function.

    @ACosta Can you show a screenshot of your flow? It would help to provide more insights.
