SQL Join Statement

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by rohitgrg 2

Dear Team,

 

We are trying to create a flow using PAD, in this flow, we are reading excel file via SQL connection. We have requirement to use a left join and a full join in "Execute SQL Command" actions, but in both statements we are getting errors. Any suggestions, inputs or help will be highly appreciated. 

 

Few Questions 

1. There is no syntax error in either statements but still failing.

2. In left join, if there are 100% matches between 2 table, then the join is working fine. But if there are different set of data in 2 tables, it is throwing type mismatch error. Why is type mismatch happening for disjoint data set but not for identical data sets.

    Hello @rohitgrg !

    Could you please check whether the SQL statement with the left join generates any error when is not executed in Power Automate Desktop (in order to ensure that error is not related to the SQL statement itself but to Power Automate Desktop specifically)?

    @NikosMoutzou Thanks for your inputs. Left join issue is resolved as there was some type mismatch in source excel file. But full join is still giving same error. I am not an expert in SQL but the statement seems correct for full join. Also can you please suggest how can we get headers for the sql output while fetching data from excel.
