Flow fails when title column is alphanumeric, how to use condition for alphanumeric column

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

I have a flow which runs good, unless Title column is not alpha numeric.

But Title column is mostly like a unique ID generated in excel ,so i need it combination of text and numbers to make it unique.

Issue is flow runs when that title is just text based that is "ABC", but when it comes in as "ABC123" it fails.

can Anybody help me to move forward with this validation part.

    There shouldn't be any issue with it being an alphanumeric column. I do see an error saying that you have a value expecting a date - STARTDATE - that isn't correct. But, are you saying that it works fully in other cases? Since these 2 alphanumerics are at the bottom of the list in Excel, it could be that the dates are not formatted as dates, whereas the others are. It could be a lot of things - let's start with that and then work our way through.
