Hey!

 

Im using power automate and everything was going OK until I got to reference an excel column named "User: Email".

 

I need to send an email and reference some info from an excel file. Here are the column names from excel:

For doing that I am using this:

And this is what im getting:

So, it works with User column but not with any of the others... Is it because they have " : "? How can I use them?

 

Thanks a lot!

    I did a quick test. Power Automate transformed the colon into ASCII code.

    Please test the column names at your end. You should be able to then reference them using property names

    Im sorry, for future cases, I would like to know how can I get that data from my excel. How did you get that?

     

    And in your case, I should use "items('apply_to_each')?['Supplier_ix003a_name']?

    I should check if that happens to me also.

     

    Thanks a lot!
