Ignore blank rows using ODATA filter - List Rows in Table (Excel Business)

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by DesignerMat 33

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to ignore blank rows using the List Rows in Table (Excel Business) connection. I have used a filter query to do this but would prefer to do this as an ODATA filter.

    Hi @DesignerMat,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow’s configuration?

     

    There is probably no direct way to remove the empty rows from the table.

    At present, it is more feasible to do is you can add a filter array to remove the empty rows, as shown in the figure below if the column Name has a length of zero.Annotation 2019-05-27 171106.pngAnnotation 2019-05-27 165048.png

     

     

     

    This is the result of flow run:Annotation 2019-05-27 171306.png

    You can have a try. If there is any problem, please contact us.

    Hi @v-lin-msft ,

     

    Thanks for the reply. I have used the following with a filter - but was wondering if it could be done more efficiently.

    Filter Array:

    equals(empty(item()?['ASSET ID']), bool('False'))

    This work as the 'ASSET ID' will not have a value if the row is empty.
