Posted on by RapBV 6

Dears,

 

I created on Power Automate Desktop  a flow that create Folder based "Selected list Dialog"  and subfolder based on another Selected list Dialog.

 

The folder for the frist "Selected list Dialog"  is wroking well but when reach the stage of create the subfolder it appear an error.

I am using the variable produced in the folder as path to create the subfolder

    There's something missing from the information.

    What is your "period"?  Is it 1 month?

    example: Year --> as example would be 2021 ( it can change based on list selected)

                   Period --> as example 1 ( but it can be 1 to 12)

    Error message. looks that variable folder and variable subfolder creates additional "\"

    Yeah, I agree that "Report\\2021" is wrong.  How is %FolderYear% created.  I don't see it's creation on the original image.  

     

    I assume it's 1 or both of the create folder commands...I just can't see them.
