Posted on by ML147243

I've been trying to add to add a branch to a flow and cannot get the addition to work. I would like to update the file property for "Month" with the data already be extracted from the excel file.

I'm getting a generic failed action error. Below is my flow and the error screen. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Updating file property using excel table data

The issue ended up being that the flow still had the excel connection in use when I was trying to update the properties. I found more details about the error in the outputs of the last failed action and it said the file was locked by me.

I ended up initializing a variable for the itemID after the " Get metadata. I then passed that information on to the child flow, where I added a Delay action and then an update file properties.

Re: Updating file property using excel table data

@v-jefferni I'm sorry, I forgot to add my filter in the get files. I have tried many different ways to get this to work. This is what I currently have FileLeafRef eq '@{outputs('Get_file_metadata')?['body/Name']}'. It does find the file but I get the action failed error. I will try the internal ID again.

Re: Updating file property using excel table data

Hi @ML147243 ,

Actually I cannot understand the logic from your flow steps, you will update each file property based on all the excel file month column values? I suppose you would like to update file properties based on the ItemInternalId value from in the Excel and file ID in the library, then you will need to filter the files in the step Get files (property only) 2 action with filter query ID eq ItemInternalId, then for each filtered file update the properties based on the month value.

Hope this helps.

Re: Updating file property using excel table data

Hi @ML147243 ,

The screenshot of the flow is too fuzzy, could you please edit the post and replace it with a clearer one? Besides, what is the result table of the Parse JSON operation?
