Create a table error - Need some help

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello all,

 

I'm following the link below to create a flow to export a sharepoint list to excel and send an email.

https://www.enjoysharepoint.com/power-automate-export-sharepoint-list-to-excel-and-send-an-email/

 

Step 9 'Create a table' we use the expression to define the table range followed by $A1:$ and 1: 

outputs('A1_Notation_Mapping')[sub(length(outputs('Array_of_col')),1)]
 
However I keep getting the following errors in the flow check:
 

Correct to include a valid reference to ‘Array_of_col’ for the input parameter(s) of action ‘Create_table’.

Correct to include a valid reference to ‘A1_Notation_Mapping’ for the input parameter(s) of action ‘Create_table’.

 

Any ideas on what I need to do to correct it?

    Check the value that is being supplied by outputs 'outputs('A1_Notation_Mapping')[sub(length(outputs('Array_of_col')),1)]' it should be a letter value, like 'D'. I suspect that you aren't getting the right input in your A1_Notation_Mapping array.

    Thank you guys for the answers!

     

    Actually what I had to do was changing the names from  "Array_of_col" and "A1_Notation_Mapping" to "Compose" and "Compose_2". For some reason that's how it came named when building the flow. I'm just new to it, so did not figure this out earlier.

    Those are the default names when you add the action.  He evidently renamed them for clarity in the demo.  The bottom line is that the correct value wasn't being returned because the names were wrong.
