Handling Currency Data Type Mismatch Between Microsoft Forms & SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by


Hi, I'm currently working with a SharePoint list that is populated by responses from a Microsoft Form. However, my SharePoint list has a Currency column, while Microsoft Forms doesn't have a Currency data type. This is causing my Power Automate flow to fail when trying to insert a value into the Currency column because of a data type mismatch.

How can I handle this situation, converting the form's numeric response into the correct format for the Currency column in SharePoint?

    I think the Microsoft Form will store the currency value as text.
     
    In that case use the float() function to convert the text into a number, for example:
     
    float('10,000.33')
    returns this result: 10000.33
