Question Compose Data Operation Action

Posted on 29 May 2021 19:14:04 by 34

I have a Form that takes data that is submitted and populates it onto an Excel file. I've created a flow with Compose and the replace function so that when a selection is made that allows multiple selections, it removes the brackets and quotes from data on the Excel file. For example, it normally looks like this ["Broken glass","dirty floor"] but with the code changes to this Broken glass,dirty floor(with no space in between). There is a total of 10 dynamic contents that I have to do this for and I've created the code with parallel branching for 4 so far. Is there an easier way to do this, or I would have to branch each content separately? It also has to be tied into the Switch function.

    Hi @Vincebk 

     

    if your data is an array and you are looking for a list, you can use the expression join ie join with a comma.

     

    if your condition has 10 possible logical conditions, you might want to consider using an array to store the parameters to simplify the actions that follow, if they are similar.

     

    Take a look at this video. https://youtu.be/OEk6RMLQ89s
