Issue with filter array to select from excel table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 44

I am attempting to use a filter array to filter rows fro a table and populate an html table. Without the filter array it works fine. When i populate the select element I do so as you can see, but when I run a test, the 'from:'body' auto changes to 'body/value' and I get the pictured error. What am I doing wrong?

    @AdamPorter Can you try switching to the Classic Designer? The New Designer is still a bit buggy.

     

    You might find this YT Tutorial helpful: Are you using the Microsoft Power Automate Filter Array Action wrong?

    In this video tutorial I’ll show you 3 practical ways to use the Filter Array action and how to use it properly.

    1️⃣ Cross-Referencing Data

    2️⃣ Filtering by Key

    3️⃣ Substring Matching

     

    Did you know that the Condition action has a limit of 10 conditions? Although it might look like the Filter Array action can only accept one condition—this is not true. By using the advanced mode you can enter multiple conditions into a Filter Array action with an expression.
