Hello All,
I'm working on an automation where I'm trying to write some data back to an Excel sheet with Graph.
I initially collect my data and parse the json without issue:
The next bit is where it all falls are, my final graph POST; it accepts the following:
values Json A 2-dimensional array of unformatted values of the table rows (boolean or string or number).
something like:
Share
Report{
"values": [
["MyData1"],
["MyData2"]
]
}
My problem is building an object to match this post call. I have to iterate over each item returned from the initial API call to access 'displayName'
If I try to write this value to an array object I get the following error when saving:
Flow save failed with code 'WorkflowRunActionInputsInvalidProperty' and message 'The inputs of workflow run action 'Append_to_array_variable' of type 'AppendToArrayVariable' are not valid. The provided value of '[ "@{items('Apply_to_each')?['displayName']}" ]' of type 'Array' must be a primitive type, or a valid template language expression.'.
This proves difficult as when I make my call I was trying to pass this Nested array:
I tried to build a string variable as another alternative - which worked until I made the post call as once it was entered and sent it ended up escaping the quotation marks and failing the post:
Does anyone know how I can iterate over my values returned from my initial json parse in and build an object required by the API?
{
"values": [
["MyData1"],
["MyData2"]
]
}​
Thank you everyone!
Hey @TomD
I've faced the same problem. I wanted to include an array into the API Call.
What I had to do, was to use a String instead of an array. So in your foreach loop you take the exact part that has to go into the API Call, and append it to a String. Don't forget to include all brackets and other characters.
In my case:
And in the API Call you add the String into the Call:
I hope this helps you or anyone else, who has a similar problem.
