Sequence number in Select action

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 38

Hey everyone:

 

Is it possible to increase a counter or enumerate the elements in a Select action?

I want to get the rows from an Excel file and in the Select action, add a third row that is a sequence number / counter.

I've already tried adding an expression, but the number is always 1: add(variables('myCounter'), 1)

Is this feasible or I would need to look for a workaround?

    It is possible and relatively easy to do. I made a short video to show you how to do it. Take a look and let me know if it helps:

    It was just because I have learned a lot with all your Power Automate blogs and videos!
