Empty List Column

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 79

Hi All, 

I am in need of some help please. I have a csv that is sent to a recipient account as attachment. The attachment is then sent to SharePoint document Library. This triggers the parsing of the data. From the parsed data I then create a new item in a SharePoint list. 

 

This is all working fine and in fact the first name, surname, date are all populated. Unfortunately the email address is not. This column remains blank.

 

I use the following expression   string(item()?['Email'])

 

Create-Item.pngJSON-Parse.pngJSON-Parse-Outputs.png

 

As you can see the email is present in parsed JSON output but not in the create item outputs.

CSV Headers are: Unique Id,First Name,Surname,End Date,Last Working Date,Email

 

Can anyone suggest where I may be going wrong ?

 

MANY THANKS

    Hey,

     

    don't you need to use the "Email\r" value instead of only "Email" in your Expression?

    string(item()?['Email\r'])

     

    If that doesn't work, maybe you can parse it cleanly so you don't have the \r in there...

     

    cheers

    Thanks for the suggestion. It wasn't the solution, unfortunately. 

    I don't even know where the \r is coming from. Its a carriage return right ? So i guess its getting picked up from the CSV itself but it isn't in my parsed JSON.
