Azure devops team capacity not loading correctly in excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I'm trying to fetch team capacity from azure devops. When I'm trying to load the start and end date (daysoff) it does not load al the data in. Its only loading the members with days off. Not every member in my organisation has days off as a result that there is no start and end entity. I have the following json parse: 

{
    "type""object",
    "properties": {
        "teamMembers": {
            "type""array",
            "items": {
                "type""object",

                    "teamMember": {

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    What is the structure of your Excel? Do you want to add a separate row for each activity value and also for each day off per team member? Or do you want to combine the activities and the days off into one row in the excel per TeamMember?

     

    In your current setup you are looping through the daysOff items via the nested apply to each 4 action. And if that daysOff array is empty it will simply skip the Add new row in that apply to each.

     

    So, it makes sense that teamMembers who don't have a dayOff will be skipped.

    Hi,

    I would like to combine the activities and days off into one row. When I select the activities and days off in the add row action, it automatically applies the for each.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    A bit of a delayed response. But managed to create a flow which can select both the activities and days off into one row, which prevents it going into a nested loop. I have used xml, xpath and join functions for this.

     

    Below is an example

     

    1. Send an HTTP request to Azure DevOps, which used the URI

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/work/capacities/get-capacities-with-identity-ref-and-totals?view=azure-devops-rest-7.2

     

     

    @{variables('Project')}/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations/@{variables('IterationId')}/capacities?api-version=7.2-preview.3

     

     

    2. Filter Array From

     

    outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_Azure_DevOps')?['body']['teamMembers']

     

     

    3. Filter Array Criteria

     

    @greater(length(item()['daysOff']), 0)

     

     

     

    4. Compose action which is used to convert the json into XML (makes it easier to retrieve fields from nested arrays).

     

    xml(json(concat('{"root": { value:', body('Filter_Array'), '}}')))

     

     

     

    5. Select From

     

    xpath(outputs('XML'), '//root/value')

     

     

     

    6. Select Map (switched to text mode with button on the right side)

     

    {
     "Name": @{xpath(item(), 'string(//teamMember/displayName/text())')},
     "Days Off": @{join(xpath(item(), '//daysOff/start/text()'), ', ')},
     "Activity Name": @{join(xpath(item(), '//activities/name/text()'), ', ')},
     "Activity Capacity per Day": @{join(xpath(item(), '//activities/capacityPerDay/text()'), ', ')}
    }
