Flow keeps on failing when field is left empty

Hi all,

 

I'm a beginner on Flows/PowerBI and I'm getting stuck on my current flow. I'm trying to build a live KPI dashboard with (live) data coming in from Microsoft Forms. 

 

I keep on getting the error message:

Error parsing request for dataset sobe_wowvirtualserver|d2b91667-b802-438d-b3b9-138b4378ad38: Conversion error on column '<pi>Waardering - Module 2</pi>': <pi>Input string was not in a correct format.</pi>

 

I'm assuming that it's because my dataset on PowerBI for the specific question is set to "number". (background info: question is on a scale of 1-5 how users would rate the specific training of the programme, if they didn't follow the training then they have the option to leave it blank). 

 

Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration and the run failed history of your flow?

    Could you please share more details about your scenes?

    If your flow is failed for the column is blank, you could add a Condition to check for the column, or you could set the action would run after the previous action has run successful or failed.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
