sql query output to teams message

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2
I have been struggling with getting something to work in Power Automate. I have a flow that pulls rows from a table and in the row one of the columns contains a sql query, usually just a select with a where clause. I throw the sql query into a variable and execute it with the execute SQL step. The problem comes in , in that I need to iterate over the rows that are returned and somehow iterate over each column which is not fixed so i cannot use the column name. I need to add the data either to an array or a table of some sort and then after iteration include the output into the body of a chat message as either text table or perhaps an attachment. Every method I have tried ether from search or from chatgtp is not working, help please.

    Hi,
     
    From a very high level, what I may recommend is to moving this upstream, meaning, I would use dataflows and run your SQL query there in Dataflows/Power Query.
     
    Very, very, VERY easily, you can add a column, do your conditional output on the added column(s), then use the trigger 'When a dataflow refresh completes', you have a table that you can email, save to SharePoint, OneDrive, etc, etc.
     
     
    I often have two flows.  One that is running on a schedule that runs those queries or concats datasources, doing all the Power Query things, then a second flow with the above trigger to work with the output of the newly created table.
