Posted on by Wishamaster89 32
Hi All
 
I have a flow that does the following
 
1) Run a query against a Power BI dataset
2)Parse JSON
3) Initialize variavble - This is where i am stuck
4) Add a row into a table
 
I think the Type here needs to be Object but when i start adding variables from the JSON it gives an error "Enter a valid JSON"
 
Can some one please asist?

    Hi
     
    Can you explain what you are trying to do a little more. Why do you have a loop that does nothing but initalize a variable (which you should never do in a loop). I would have thought you are looping through the Power Bi dataset and adding rows into excel based off that, so your add rows should be inside the loop.
     
    1) the thing you created isnt an object because you dont have [ ] around it so add those on the outsides and see what happens, as I cannot see the content of what you are using with the ,'s as those will probably need quotes around them.

    Hi
     
    Sure, so the power bi dataset is a table of data with around 1000 rows. I am trying to pull this in to an excel sheet daily, it will need to over write the previous days.
    data. 
     
    I was just playing around and saw someone else had used the initialize variable thing but  i suppose it is not needed.  
     
    So now the loop is passing through each row of the "body" from the Parse Json step. 
     
    When i test it , blank rows are added to the excel file so something is missing, I assume it is the"add rows inside the loop" step, I am not sure how to do this please?
