Power Fx LookUp not working with PAD Table Variable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by VB-07030721-0
Hi All,
 
I am working in Power Automate Desktop with Power Fx enabled. I have a table variable and I want to fetch a value from one column based on the value in another column.

If T-Code_Key = TCodeMB51 , I want to return the T-Code_Value (MB51).

I tried using the following Power Fx expression:


=LookUp(ExcelData, T-Code_Key = "TCodeMB51", T-Code_Value)

However, this is not working in Power Automate Desktop Power Fx expressions.

Could someone please suggest the correct way to retrieve a column value based on another column’s value from a PAD table variable?

(I have attached all the related screenshots for reference)

Thanks in advance.

    I don't like Power Fx enabled flows since they seem to produce much more issues than solutions. Usually you can do anything with regular flows that you could with Power Fx. 

    For some reason Power Fx enabled PAD flows don't seem to recognize the column names. It does if you create the table yourself but that doesn't really help since you don't want to use hard coded tables.


    You could just use Excel action on that. So "Lookup range in Excel worksheet".


    or simply use Filter table -action
