Power Automate Flow not recognizing file

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello everyone! First post here 🙂


I am trying to create a flow that takes an email attachment, which is an excel that will later have a script applied to it. What I am doing is taking this attachment and placing it within a folder. I want to make it to where if a file with the report name is already in the folder it will delete it and replace it with the newest one, or if it does not, create the file in the folder. I am having a problem were it is skipping my if condition showing successful at 0 seconds.

    Hi @JesseBlack 

     

    Pleasure. Now normally I'd go into a long winded. this but you are new so Welcome welcome welcome 🙂

     

    Thank you for posting your flow, but we need to understand the flow.

    1. What is the Value you are putting in the condition? Is it even a string, is it a number, what is its value.

     

    Let me stop there.

    Please do this

     

    Above the condition (yes above it), put a compose, and output the value that you think should work in the Condition

     

    But Michael it won't let me, then do this

    Close the condition

    Below the Condition add the Compose

    Now move the condition Under it

     

    We can then see what it is and know why its not working, and why its not the value you believe it should be as it could be as simple as do a toLower() on both sides so that they are in lower case and will match.

     

    Lets do that first


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You
