Help with invalid argument

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Blu 39

Hello friends,

 

I’m creating a PowerApps App that allows a user to take a picture document (invoice \ receipt), manually enter in data via text 1 dropdown list and 7 text input fields

The goal (in short) is to click a button, on submit, Send the picture and the data as metadata to a SharePoint document.

I have a PA flow created called Ver4. It seems to work fine

 I have created a formula that appears to have no errors

Ver4.Run(FileNameInput .Text & ".jpg",TakenPic,DocTypeDropDown, VendorNameInput,VendorNumberInput,AccountNumberInput,NotesInput,FileNameInput)

 

 But I still receive an error on my button – Invalid argument type, expecting a text value instead

Little over my head here, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Blu

    You'll experience that kind of error when you try to pass along the name of the control, rather than the value it contains. E.g. VendorNameInput versus VendorNameInput.Text

    You'll need to carefully align the arguments your flow is expecting with the proper data values (not control names).
