Ignore case in Get a row Excel Online(Business)

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am trying to get excel row using Get a row Excel Online(Business) connector.

It fetches the data correctly, but the data is case sensitive.

For eg. If I want to get a row where Key Value is "ABC" then it returns the row.

But, if Key Value is "abc" then it does not return the row.

How to ignore the case while matching the condition?

Any help?

You can use condition action.

column Value contains toLower(ColumnValue) (i am checking only lower case)

Based on True and False return, you can use Get a row action in which convert your key value in Upper or Lower case.

@Hardesh15

I can convert the column value to upper/lower case.

But my problem is sometimes the actual excel value can be "aBc" or "abC".

If I convert the column value to upper/lower case it will always be "ABC" or "abc" and it will not match with the excel key column.

Hence I want to do upper/lower case on excel excel key column

"List rows present in a table" returns rows even if case is not matching. That's what I want.

But, I need this to work for "Get a row" action.

Any help here?

After using list row present in a table, you can use condition action and choose another pair of Key-Value.

Hi @Anonymous,

You could use the Filter array action to find these rows which ID to upper equals to "ABC", no matter it is Abc or aBc:

Hi @v-litu-msft ,

How can we achieve this with "Get a row" action?

I do not want to use "List rows present in a table" due to some other problems.

Hi @Anonymous,

Get a row action couldn't do it, because it is case-sensitive, what we can do is to take out all the columns first.
