Transfer SharePoint List to excel Multi Choice Values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

Hello everyone, 

 

I am trying to create a scheduled flow that will basically transfer the SharePoint List into a new excel file for archive purposes. 
I have found this solution as others that I found available were returning errors in different stages. 

Unfortunately, when I am running the Flow it returns this error: 

Error Details:

"A value must be provided for item. clientRequestId: 3253c46c-a0a9-41b1-af86-a8ae0752b92b"

Outputs:

{
  "status"400,
  "message""A value must be provided for item.\r\nclientRequestId: 3253c46c-a0a9-41b1-af86-a8ae0752b92b",
  "error": {
    "message""A value must be provided for item."
  },
  "source""excelonline-ne.azconn-ne-003.p.azurewebsites.net"
}
 
I believe it is because I am using a multi choice column and I need to format the array before importing the values within the excel file but I am not sure, any suggestions? 
In the last step that I need to map the columns of the excel file to those in the SharePoint List I am just placing the name fields from SharePoint as those return in the dynamic context (not the "value" field).

Any suggestions please? Even if it is an entirely different solution, I just need to make that work

    managed to resolve the issue. 
    Following exactly the above steps with one additional change within the apply to each stage. 

    Before create the "add row into a table" you will need for each column that using multi select choice to create two additional steps:

    Select: in which you place in the "From" section the field from SharePoint List and change the map to text and type in the expression field: item()?['value']

    One more step, add a Join from operations selections

    Within the From section place the "Output" from the previous step and in the "Join With" place your delimiter which in my case is a comma.

    At last, when you adding the rows in the table, for those columns that contain multi-select you need to place the output from the join

     

    I hope that help others as well having the same issue
