Concat 'Choices' and 'Single Line of Text'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble to concat 3 columns in a single line text one

 

My columns are:

 

- Evaluated Property: Single Line of Text (from a LookUp list)

- Matrix: Choice Field

- Category: Choice Field

 

My output / result column is a Single Line of Text

 

- Project Title: Multiple Line of Text

 

On Power Automate, this is the synthax I tried

 

concat(triggerBody()?['EvaluatedProperty'],triggerBody()?['Matrixx'],triggerBody()?['Category'])
 
My output on column Project Title is {"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference","Id":14,"Value":"Moisture"}{"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference","Id":3,"Value":"Caramel"}{"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference","Id":1,"Value":"Biscuit"}
 
I've run another test by changing Project Title type to Single Line of Text. Now, I am getting an error related to 255 characters exceeding count.
 
Any suggestions on how to achieve the concatenation of all columns? Am I missing something here?

    @luccamalucelli1 You need to ensure you are selecting the appropriate dynamic content. For your choice columns, you need to ensure you are selecting the value dynamic content to output the value.

    Same goes for your look up column.

    Tip: Use a Compose action to store the dynamic content to check the output in a test run. For more troubleshooting tips check out this YT Tutorial: 5 Power Automate Troubleshooting FAQs and Helpful Tips for Creating Better Flows

    Hi @creativeopinion! Thanks for your reply!

    For some reason, I can't find under Dynamic Content the options 'Single Choice Value' and 'LookUp Value' you mentioned, as you can see below.

    I am not familiar with 'Compose' action .. how can I use the columns from my list to retrieve the concatenation of all three to render a new single line of text column?

     

    Thanks!
