I need to have a total of all numbers in an excel table column named "Scoring Weight" of type string.

 

When using int(items('Apply_to_each')?['Scoring Weight']) the value is not converted to integer and gives me error message: Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Increment_variable' inputs at line '1' and column '2684': 'The template language function 'int' was invoked with a parameter that is not valid. The value cannot be converted to the target type.'.

    Hi @Flowbginner ,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

    Could you please share a screenshot of the excel table?

    The error message told that the expression couldn't convert the parameter to the target type, could you please add a compose action with the expression items('Apply_to_each')?['Scoring Weight'] to see what is the value in the Compose action?

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
