Hello,

Short description: I have a SharePoint list with two columns.

- Column "UserId" = type single line text

- Column "Name" = type Person or Group

The Column "UserId" has more or less 3000 values. The Column "Name" is empty

To use the Filter function [ME] I need to copy the values from Column "UserId" to the Column "Name".

I found a good instruction on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q7EDxPlbyk and generally it works fantastic

BUT 😉

In my case it could happen that the value in "UserId" does not match with a real User. User has left company and account is no longer valid. In this case the the value from Column "UserId" can not be copied to the Column "Name" and the flow stops with error.

Any idea how I can handle this error?

Thx a lot for your support!
