How to use table values as fieldname of another table?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dc7669 152

I have two tables

Table A:

CodeStates
1AK
2AL
3

AZ

4AR

 

Table B:

NameALAKAZAR
Company AXX  
Company B XXX
Company CX X 

 

So, in Power Automate, I want to check if AL, AK, AZ, AR, fields has a 'X' on Table B. 

I wonder if I can use Table A to somehow streamline the Power Automate steps.  

Straight up, I can check AL, AK, AZ, AR fields individually.  When all 50 States are there, this will get tedious.  

 

Any idea?  

 

Thanks!

    @ChristianAbata I am using SQL Tables.  I don't have problems getting the tables.

    hi @dchan1  what you can do is use FilterArray first to list every value in a colum that contains X, then you can use leght two know the number.

    So then you can know how many X have in column AL, or AK, or AZ etc.

    @ChristianAbata Sounds like what you are suggesting is for seeing  for each State, which companies has a check.  

     

    However, what I want is to show which States each company is operating in and export this to a GoogleSheet.  

    NameStates operated in.
    Company AAL, AK
    Company BAK, AZ, AR
    Company CAL, AZ

    mmm @dchan1  what I'll do for that is create a sharepoint list that save a yes or no depending on the result I get from my sql query, after that I'll read the sharepoint list to create a table and send it to google sheets.
