Problem building my first flow from Excel -> Planner

Posted on by MPLekter 17

Hello, 

I just started testing the Power Automate.
Simple flows from templates work well, but when I tried doing something more custom-made 
(On button pressed, take rows from Excel file and make new tasks in Planner)

I get a fail with this message included:
Only ordering by properties is supported for non-primitive collections. Expressions are not supported. inner exception: Only ordering by properties is supported for non-primitive collections. Expressions are not supported. clientRequestId: a3f247b3-948b-4bf5-9382-d39bf34cd36d

 

Attached a picture to show what is going on.
Any ideas where the trouble is? Thanks!

    Hi @MPLekter，

    Could you please show me how you configure the OrderBy parameter in the List rows present in a table?

     

    Actually we will order by a specific column.

    Hi Qi, 

     

    this problem did not persist after a while of playing around with the flow. 
    I probably had something in the OrderBy, as you mentioned. 
    Hard to re-create the problem now, so I think we can close the case.
