    Hello Hana,

     

    Can you copy/paste just the  text for SQL statement?

    From the picture presented it seams that you didn't set the SQL connection in the field, and also the names of the excel columns should be written within square brackets, sheet ending with $.

    Something like this:

     

    select [Quote],[CustomerName] from [TEIEnquiryRegister$]
    where [SalesPrice] >= 50000000 and [Category] = 'C'

    Ref: https://infrontconsulting.asia/power-automate-return-value-from-execute-a-sql-query-v2/

     

    You can use the expression    body(‘Execute_a_SQL_query_(V2)’)

     

    Replacing the spaces in the action name with _
