Extracting Column Names where status is pending and include all in a HTML Table

Posted on by CharlieR1995

Hi all!

I have a sharepoint list with numerous columns where the status can be either "Completed" or Pending". I'm looking to extract the column name for al the column's where the status is "Pending" and then include that in a HTML table. The column names would need to appear in a list format perhaps separated by a comma, I have attached a photo for reference.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @CharlieR1995 ,

You could add a 'Filter Array' action before the 'Create HTML Table' action to filter on the Status column.

Best Regards,

Bof

This approach requires a loop, but on the other hand is quite flexible when it comes to column names and numbers.
If the column names contain special characters, these must be XML decoded, otherwise they will look a bit strange in the HTML table.

Input data is the following JSON in a Compose (You can add as many status properties as you want)

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
[ { "Project": "Proj0", "Status0": "Completed", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Completed" }, { "Project": "Proj1", "Status0": "Pending", "Status1": "Pending", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Completed" }, { "Project": "Proj2", "Status0": "Completed", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Pending", "Status3": "Completed" }, { "Project": "Proj3", "Status0": "Completed", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Pending" }, { "Project": "Proj4", "Status0": "Pending", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Pending" } ]
[ { "Project": "Proj0", "Status0": "Completed", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Completed" }, { "Project": "Proj1", "Status0": "Pending", "Status1": "Pending", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Completed" }, { "Project": "Proj2", "Status0": "Completed", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Pending", "Status3": "Completed" }, { "Project": "Proj3", "Status0": "Completed", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Pending" }, { "Project": "Proj4", "Status0": "Pending", "Status1": "Completed", "Status2": "Completed", "Status3": "Pending" } ]

Apply to each

{outputs('Compose')

Select

From:

range( 1, length( xpath( xml(json(concat('{"Root":', items('Apply_to_each'), '}'))), '//*[text()="Pending"]' ) ) )

Map:

xpath( xml(json(concat('{"Root":', items('Apply_to_each'), '}'))), concat('name(//*[text()="Pending"][', item(),'])') )

Compose 2

Project:

items('Apply_to_each')['Project']

Pending:

join(body('Select'), ', ')

Create HTML table

outputs('Compose_2')

This one?

xpath( xml(json(concat('{"Root":', items('Apply_to_each'), '}'))), concat('name(//*[text()="Pending"][', item(),'])') )

Do you get an error message? Otherwise show me a screenshot.

This doesn't happen if you just put the expression into the map's input field.

Check if there is anything else (e.g. space or line break). You can also check this in Code view.
