"If not blank" statement in Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 101

I want to use the statement: "If A is not blank" function.  

 

Is there any way I can use it in Power Automate?

 

As seen below, I would like the condition to say Facility is not blank (or not empty).

    The expression string(null) is an empty string.

    Facility is not equal to string(null)

    Below are a couple of options that would work.

     

    Check to see if the field is not equal to - and leave Choose a value blank.

    Or wrap the field into an empty expression and test to see if it's not equal to true. Expressions below.

    empty(outputs('When_an_item_is_created')?['Status/Value'])
    
    true

    @grantjenkins "Leave it blank" also works. Great, I didn't know that.
