Splitting and matching strings in a HTML table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 147

I have made an app that turns the following input from a form and collection.

 

Form:

OwnerBob Smith
JobCarpenter
Gender (Owner)Male
Pet Nameconcat()
Animalconcat()
Colorconcat()
Sex (Pet)concat()

Collection:

Pet NameAnimalColorSex (Pet)
PingDuckWhiteMale
FigoCatOrangeMale
BellaDogBlackFemale

 

The form uses the concatenate function to turn the pet characteristics into a string, resulting into a single record:

OwnerJobGender (Owner)Pet NameAnimalColorSex (Pet)
Bob SmithCarpenterMalePing; Figo; BellaDuck; Cat; DogWhite; Orange; BlackMale; Male; Female

Current situation

 

Using a Power Automate flow, this record is turned into an HTML table with the same formatting as this record.

 

However, in order to make this output feasible for an RPA, the strings need to be split again and be in the following format:

OwnerJobGender (Owner)Pet NameAnimalColorSex (Pet)
Bob SmithCarpenterMalePingDuckWhiteMale
Bob SmithCarpenterMaleFigoCatOrangeMale
Bob SmithCarpenterMaleBellaDogBlackFemale

Desired situation

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Can my record be split through an Automate flow?

    Hi @Daniël ,

     

    You can send the record as a JSON from PowerApps to Power Automate.

     

    Can you paste the JSON here , so that I can help more on that?

    Currently, I am creating the table out of a Sharepoint record:

    How do you propose I retrieve the JSON?
