Hi friends - my question is simple - any ideas on an expression, connector, function, etc to get from point A to point B using PowerAutomate or something that connects to PowerAutomate?

Point A:
• Focus on design, conception, implementation, and evaluation of AI/ML software architectures for solutions classified as medical device according to the current state of art and in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations;
• Manage and schedule work for software development team of multiple complex projects as well as develop, qualify, and maintain suppliers as partner relationships;
• Drive conception and implementation of the data interfaces internally at Bayer and between Bayer and external partners for the exchange of sensitive health data in compliance with data protection guidelines and Bayer internal compliance standards;
• Lead data engineering activities to cleanse, prepare and provide data for ML training, technical validation, and testing in AI/ML SaMD projects;
• Work cross functional and collaborate with Technical Lead, Product Manager, Risk Manager, Test Engineering Lead, Medical & Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs;
• Ensure the oversight of external suppliers or service partners in the context of system architecture implementation and system integration in healthcare IT ecosystems

 

Point B:

  • Focus on design, conception, implementation, and evaluation of AI/ML software architectures for solutions classified as medical device according to the current state of art and in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations;
  • Manage and schedule work for software development team of multiple complex projects as well as develop, qualify, and maintain suppliers as partner relationships;
  • Drive conception and implementation of the data interfaces internally at Bayer and between Bayer and external partners for the exchange of sensitive health data in compliance with data protection guidelines and Bayer internal compliance standards;
  • Lead data engineering activities to cleanse, prepare and provide data for ML training, technical validation, and testing in AI/ML SaMD projects;
  • Work cross functional and collaborate with Technical Lead, Product Manager, Risk Manager, Test Engineering Lead, Medical & Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs;
  • Ensure the oversight of external suppliers or service partners in the context of system architecture implementation and system integration in healthcare IT ecosystems;

 

Thank you!

    You want the bullets from Point A to be formatted tabbed over like in Point B?

     

    You're trying to insert a tab to the bullets? 

     

    Trying to understand the exact question

    Is Point A already a HTML text?

    I don't know? Where is the text coming from? Are you planning on typing it into a Power Automate flow?

    @wskinnermctc and @lbendlin , please find my flow so far for hopefully some context:

    jessicadduffey_0-1689813762719.png

     

    expression: 

    replace(outputs('Compose'), decodeUriComponent('%0A'), ' ')
     
    jessicadduffey_1-1689813816864.png

    compose 3 expression: 

    split(outputs('Compose_2'),'•')
     
    compose 4 expression: 
    replace(body('Join'),' ;',';')
     
    compose 5 expression: 
    substring(outputs('Compose_4'),1)
     
    Point A is my output of the flow and point B is where I want to be.
     
    If it helps, here are the raw outputs: 
    "\n• Focus on design, conception, implementation, and evaluation of AI/ML software architectures for solutions classified as medical device according to the current state of art and in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations;\n• Manage and schedule work for software development team of multiple complex projects as well as develop, qualify, and maintain suppliers as partner relationships;\n• Drive conception and implementation of the data interfaces internally at Bayer and between Bayer and external partners for the exchange of sensitive health data in compliance with data protection guidelines and Bayer internal compliance standards;\n• Lead data engineering activities to cleanse, prepare and provide data for ML training, technical validation, and testing in AI/ML SaMD projects;\n• Work cross functional and collaborate with Technical Lead, Product Manager, Risk Manager, Test Engineering Lead, Medical & Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs;\n• Ensure the oversight of external suppliers or service partners in the context of system architecture implementation and system integration in healthcare IT ecosystems"

    Hello!  This worked in the sense that I now have everything where I need it to be - thank you!


    <ul>
    <li> Focus on design, conception, implementation, and evaluation of AI/ML software architectures for solutions classified as medical device according to the current state of art and in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations;
    <li> Manage and schedule work for software development team of multiple complex projects as well as develop, qualify, and maintain suppliers as partner relationships;
    <li> Drive conception and implementation of the data interfaces internally at Bayer and between Bayer and external partners for the exchange of sensitive health data in compliance with data protection guidelines and Bayer internal compliance standards;
    <li> Lead data engineering activities to cleanse, prepare and provide data for ML training, technical validation, and testing in AI/ML SaMD projects;
    <li> Work cross functional and collaborate with Technical Lead, Product Manager, Risk Manager, Test Engineering Lead, Medical & Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs;
    <li> Ensure the oversight of external suppliers or service partners in the context of system architecture implementation and system integration in healthcare IT ecosystems;

    <ul>

     

    Now, I have a follow up question to this - 

    I have a flow that I would like to apply this same principle.  I'm basically creating a PowerAutomate flow that will create a dynamic MS Word document from MS Form responses without the use of premium connectors. With this flow, I want to do the following:

    1. Take job description text and paste it into an MS Form

    2. MS Form responses feed to Sharepoint site (content types applied and containing an MS Word template)

    3. Text/properties update in Sharepoint site (the purpose of the flow above)

    4. Updated text feeds into MS Word template.

     

    My follow up question is this: the text is currently showing up in the Sharepoint site like this:


    <ul>
    <li> Focus on design, conception, implementation, and evaluation of AI/ML software architectures for solutions classified as medical device according to the current state of art and in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations;<li>
    <li> Manage and schedule work for software development team of multiple complex projects as well as develop, qualify, and maintain suppliers as partner relationships;<li>
    <li> Drive conception and implementation of the data interfaces internally at Bayer and between Bayer and external partners for the exchange of sensitive health data in compliance with data protection guidelines and Bayer internal compliance standards;<li>
    <li> Lead data engineering activities to cleanse, prepare and provide data for ML training, technical validation, and testing in AI/ML SaMD projects;<li>
    <li> Work cross functional and collaborate with Technical Lead, Product Manager, Risk Manager, Test Engineering Lead, Medical & Clinical Affairs and Regulatory Affairs;<li>
    <li> Ensure the oversight of external suppliers or service partners in the context of system architecture implementation and system integration in healthcare IT ecosystems<li>
    <ul>

     

    Is there any way to get Sharepoint OR MS Word to read the html?

  • lbendlin Profile Picture

    You may want to spend some time to clean the HTML up.  You are supposed to provide closing tags too.

     

    Both SharePoint and Word should be able to read the HTML natively.  Were you expecting a different format like RTF ?

  • jessicadduffey Profile Picture

    @lbendlin noted - thank you!  I cleaned it up and made sure the text had opening and closing tags.  I think the issue is that Point A text is not currently in HTML format, and so it is transferring to Sharepoint and Word as plain text.  Is there any way to convert to HTML format in PowerAutomate before it updates in Sharepoint and feeds to Word?  I apologize, I am a newer user to PowerAutomate and I know nothing about HTML vs. Rich Text vs. Plain Text.

    Not sure what is the bare minimum for making Word understand that.  Try putting a <html>  tag around your text.
