Issue with period seperated numbers in MS Form and Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by nikolaosl 2

Hello all,

I am trying to create an MS Form that will actually take data from questions from visitors regarding Covid-19 and based on the responses a mail will be sent with an answer if entry is allowed or not. This will be configured through power automate flows.

One of the questions in the Form will be to input temperature.

My issue is that I want the entries to be in the format 37.8 (with a period), but in power automate I can't make the flow to work if I have a period. It works with a comma.

I don't have any experience with Flows so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have managed to sort it by containing the values in quotes on the Flow.

    For example "37.8"

    Another question. Would it be possible to sent the excel results of the FORM via email through a flow?

    @nikolaosl yes but not the spreadsheet behind the form. You would need to have a separate spreadsheet formatted with a table and with the relevant columns. Then in the flow you would get the response details from the form, then add an Excel Online for Business action of "Add a row into a table". You could then have another action that sends that spreadsheet  by email.
