Hello

I have an array in a flow with 2 dimensions

MyArray ( "Sales" , "john@mail.com" ; "Purchase" , "jane@mail.com" )

i would like to retrieve the email address based on the department .

myarray("sales")[1] would give me "john@mail.com

i found several posts explaining that you can address only an array with index ,but some are saying that it is possible to search based on content , but i have not figure out how and as I can not garantee that Sales will be always the first entry , i m stuck.

Any help would be very much appreciated .

I have tried to create dynamically variables , like Sales = John and Purchase= Jane , but that is not allowed to create variables dynamically in powerapps flow.

thanks.

No, that would not work. Arrays are zero based.

Use the Parse action to deal with hierarchically structured data.
