Count items in array

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have exported a sharepoint list into an array variable (and stripped away the data im not interested in) resulting in the following items:

{"Title": "Dan"},{"Title": "John"},{"Title": "Rich"}

How do I count the number of items? So in this example will be 3? I've tried length('arrayNam') and this returns an incorrect value?

thanks

Dan

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try length(variables('arrayNam')?['value'])

Hi @Anonymous,

I have tried on my side that use length(variable('arrayNam')), and it return value 3.

Please make sure your Array format and the expression are correct.

Hi
So the array I have I exactly extracted it from a sharepoint list. I am thinking the format is possibly not correct, is there a way to just display the format of the array when i run the flow? Like a print to screen or a log/console?

thanks

Hey there. So, you may have already seen this...but if you go to the main page for your Flow, you can see all of the past runs. If you click on any one of those, you can then click on each step and see the input and output for each.

Not sure if that gets you where you want to go, but hopefully it sets you on the right track.
