Creating a table in multiple files

Like (0) ShareShare

Posted on 29 Jul 2021 12:42:30 by 84

Following on from a previous issue (now resolved) of how to get a value from a singe cell in excel, i now need to do this to multiple files (all of which will have the same layout)

 

The problem i am having is that when i try to create the table in a for each loop (for each file in a folder) i am getting the following error

 

"BadRequest. Http request failed: the content was not a valid JSON."

 

Can anyone help with this

    Update:

     

    I have now solved this by changing "Current Item" to the "File ID" as shown below
