Check for empty cells in Excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 51

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a flow to check for empty values in a column called 'Date Checked'.

 

The condition I am using doesn't seem to work

@equals(items('Apply_to_each')?['Date Checked'], null)

 

Can someone please help?

 

This is my  current flow -

    Hi @mowgli512,

     

    Do you want to check if a field in Excel is empty or not?

    Please consider using the function empty:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#empty

    I have made the following flow for your reference.

    After the action List rows present in a table, add a condition with the following code in Advanced mode:

    @equals(empty(items('Apply_to_each')?['Date']), bool('True'))

     

    Under if yes branch, send a push notification.

    A screenshot for your reference.

    Best regards,

    This is a great solution. Now that advanced mode for conditions is not longer available, could you explain how this would translate in basic mode? 

    Thanks in advance!

    To the left cell put function

    empty(items('Apply_to_each')?['Date'])
    then to middle 'is equal to' 
    to last cell in the right put 'true'
    emptyempty
