Hi, I need help with a flow. I have an entity called AUDICAT with a field called PLATE and another called FORMATION. The entity has more than 20,000 rows. The flow I need is to send an email with a csv file attached with the unique values of the PLATE column and that in the FORMATION column it has an "YES". Thank you very much for the help

Hi @antonio_piernav

Please see the screenshot below:

Here, i am using the CDS connector to get the records and using the filter query to filter the results accordingly. You need to get the logical name of the PLATE and the FORMATION fields and replace that up in the filter query. Note that if the FORMATION field is of type two options or option set, you need to find the value of the YES label (usually 0) and then update the expression as eq 0 instead of eq YES.

Next use the create a CSV action to create the CSV table and use the custom headers option to get only the values you need in the table and use that in the email attachment.

Hope this Helps!

Thank you very much for your help, I created the flow and it works but I only receive the empty csv file, with the column headings but without any data. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks and best regards

Hi @antonio_piernav

Can you please post the expanded screenshot of the Create Table CSV action?

From the run history, can you check if there are records being returned in the Dynamics get records action?

Hi @antonio_piernav

The CSV action is fine. When you run the flow, please check the flow run outputs in the Dyanmics action. Can you see any records over there? You can also expand the CSV table action in the run outputs to check what data has been populalted in the table. That way, we can know if the ODATA filter query has worked fine.

Hope this Helps!

Hi @antonio_piernav

the 'uniquevalue' in the ODATA flter is what i put just for a sample. Here you will have to put the actual unique value that you are looking for. Can you try updating that filter query?

Also, can you share what is the dataype of these fields that you want to apply the filters on?

Hi @antonio_piernav

Looks like you have duplicate records in the data source. In that case, you will have to first get rid of the duplicate records and then create the CSV table flow.

I cannot delete duplicate records from the data source since they contain other much information that I need. What I need is to extract the information without the duplicates but without deleting them.
