Replace All Empty Values with Null Values

Posted on by Zap1798

I'm importing data from Excel into SQL Server through Power Automate. The excel table has many properties such as amount or date that have congruent columns in the SQL Server table. However, any values that are empty in Excel are replaced with an empty string ('') instead of a NULL value. The prior can't be passed into SQL Server even if "Allow Nulls" is checked because they aren't null. How would I go about checking every property in the Excel sheet if it's empty and set it to null if so without creating a condition for each property?

Hi @Zap1798 ,

Are you open to using expressions? Still need to have one for each value but less clumsy than conditions.

Thanks for the info! You set me on the right path to find the answer! Using a combination of the if function and the empty function to check if the value is empty then set it to null if needed worked out perfectly. Thanks!
