Get Rows that contain specific text

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 271

Hi all,

 

I am trying to return a value from my excel spreadsheet based on whether an entry in a seperate column contains certain text (text entered by the user so dynamic content)

 

My excel columns are set out as below:

I have a flow running to list rows in the table using a filter query to confirm whether the users entry exists. This element is working well. However when I come to get the information I cannot seem to find any way of getting a row out of the spreadsheet containing text in the key column. 

 

My flow is below:

Can anybody help me to understand how to do this? Can provide more info if required.

    Hi @Gwill1983 ,

     

    In your case i think no need of list rows,

    directly you can use get rows from Get a row ,

    And pass the value from dynamic so u can able to fetch details based on the data if data present in excel.

    If in that if no data so  it will fail 

    in that case you can refer this snap both snaps are diff but concept same.

    Hi, thanks for this.

     

    not sure I made it very clear. I need to retrieve rows that contain text, not equal.

     

    i am getting instances where I know that there is an entry which contains the text, but because it is not 100% equal to it it will not find it

    @Ahammad_Riyaz Hopefully this makes sense now. I just can't find a way of getting the value from the Notes column for any entries which contain (but not equal to) the users entry value in the Supplier column
