string function not work in calculated field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JoeAu 116

I use the string() function to convert decimal number to string.

It works on "Annual Leave Total", "Annual Leave Claim", and Sick Leave Claim" fields.

But when it applies to "Annual Leave Available" fields (it is a calculated field on Sharepoint List), it does not work as shown below.

    Re: string function not work in calculated field

    Hi @JoeAu,

     

    Could you please share more details about the configuration of the calculated field in the list?

    Could you please share a full screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

    Could you please share more details about the error message when the flow run failed?

     

    I have made a test on my side to create a calculated field in the list as below:

    The number field in the list is Number type field.

     

    And I have created a flow as below:

    The exression in the flow as below:

    string(body('Get_item')?['Annual_x0020_Leave_x0020_Availab'])

    The flow would run successfully as below:

    Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    Same problem here. 

     

    Trying to create a flow but it fails.

    Error message is:

    "status": 400,
    "message": "Het veld Vervaldatum_x0020_volgens_x0020_ van het type Calculated kan niet worden gebruikt in de queryfilterexpressie.\r\nclientRequestId: 002b499d-b69a-45b1-92ac-01759d41a97c\r\nserviceRequestId: 96d7d79e-b016-0000-69e4-8d1a7aab8464"
    }
     
    Is there a workaround?
