@Nisarga,

Based on my understanding, Power Automate Desktop does not have a variable type called "Dictionary." Instead, it offers custom objects where you can define keys and values, and you can achieve functionality similar to that of dictionary variables.

If you could provide more details or context about your specific use case, it would greatly aid in offering further assistance.

Thank you,

Hi @Nisarga,

For PAD it is called Custom Object. You can find the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/variable-data-types

To initialize a empty "dictionary" variable you can use: %{{ }}%

To add properties and values, you can use the following action: Set Variable
Variable will be %NameOfYourDictionary['PropertyName']% and the value "Value"

@Deenuji

Here is the detailed expln

There will be 2 dictioanry variables
1st Dict Var ---> EmpName as a Key , EmpID as a Value
2nd Dict Var----> EmpID as a key ,EmpEmail as a Value

i will take EmpID as an Input from user which is common for both the dictionary variables

Using That EmpID i need to display both EmployeeName and EmployeeEmail for that EmpID

one way is that i can use excel to display those data but i need to do it without using Excel.

Regards,
Nisarga
