Variable.count not valid name error

Posted on by Hernani93

Hello, I'm trying to create a workflow in which I search my mailbox for all emails from my supplier and download the invoices. I created a loop to download the invoices but I can't determine that the end of the loop is the number of emails found because it says that the Count property is not valid. How can I resolve this?

You seem to have enabled the Power Fx (preview) in your flow. Then the syntax Power FX and so a bit different.
Try:
=CountA(RetrievedEmails)
If its a datatable use:
=CountRows(RetrievedEmails)

For me that worked when I created an input variable list.

Can you show how your variables look like?

Do you need the Power Fx functionality? If possible I think you should consider making a new flow without Power Fx turned on. That is still in preview and doesn't support many normal functionality.

Then you can get the count like @UshaJyothi20 instructed.
