Update Row Multiple Values overwrite themselves

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi Community,

 

following problem, I have a flow that needs to update a row in Excel. In my PowerApps I have a field which autoselects the person who is using the app, but it is able to add another person.

 

Now I need to update this to a an excel row. But my flow automatically added  an Apply to each container and now only the second person will be saved in the excel row.

 

How can I fix this to add the second person Display Name to the first one?

 

Here an image:

    Hello @Anonymous ,

    the 'Apply to each' is added because of the possibility to add multiple users to the 'Presenter' column. If it's a multiple people picker, then Power Automate will consider it as an array = 'Apply to each' to process the items in the array one by one. In your situation it'll update the 1st presenter and with the next run overwrite it with the 2nd presenter.

    You should initialize a string variable, loop through the 'Presenter' array before the update and 'append to string variable' the presenter display names. Then you can use that variable to update it in the row (without 'Apply to each').
