Run flow if field is greater than 0

Posted on by Mclean2023

Hello,

First thank you to everyone who has offered help to me so far, you have really helped me get my app running.

I have one last function i have been asked to include and I'm stuck.

I need to run a power automate flow if a field value is greater than zero. the count field is a sum of text in a number of other fields.

When there is text in any of the counted fields the counter will sum the number of fields with text and if there is any fields with text i need to run a flow to export the text to a word file. I have the flow part sorted just can't work out how to only run it if the sum is greater than zero.

If(Value(count.Text)>0,Flow.Run(output.Text))

Sum field is called: Count.Text

Flow Name: Flow

Output to the flow: output.Text (not that this part really matters)

Hi @Mclean2023 ,

What do you get if you put

Value(Count.Text)

on a Label when there is a value in the control - also I assume this is a Text control (or is it a calculated Label). Also Count is not a good name for a control - you might consider using something else.

Re: Run flow if field is greater than 0

Hi,
Yes its a calculated label. Changed field to "Justification"

Below still gives error
Value(Justification > 0, Change.Run(R1_1V.Text)

I changed the label to a number input field still same issue.

@Mclean2023 ,

You needed Justification.Text, however an easier (and more reliable) way is to put the actual calculation in the label in your argument

If( LabelCalculationHere > 0, Run(. . . .

Re: Run flow if field is greater than 0

Thanks for your help.

This is what the formula looks like in full still not working

If(
Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_1V), 0, 1),Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_3V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_4V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R2_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R2_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_3V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_4V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_3V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_4V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_5V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R5_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R5_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R6_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R6_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R6_3V), 0, 1))) > 0,
Run(Justification_Output.Run(R1_1V.Text,R1_2V.Text,R1_3V.Text,R1_4V.Text,R2_1V.Text,R2_2V.Text,R3_1V.Text,R3_2V.Text,R3_3V.Text,R3_4V.Text,R4_1V.Text,R4_2V.Text,R4_3V.Text,R4_4V.Text,R4_5V.Text,R5_1V.Text,R5_2V.Text,R6_1V.Text,R6_2V.Text,R6_3V.Text)

Also tried this:

If(
Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_1V), 0, 1),Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_3V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R1_4V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R2_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R2_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_3V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R3_4V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_3V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_4V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R4_5V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R5_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R5_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R6_1V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R6_2V), 0, 1)),Sum(If(IsBlank(R6_3V), 0, 1)) > 0,Justification_Output.Run(R1_1V.Text,R1_2V.Text,R1_3V.Text,R1_4V.Text,R2_1V.Text,R2_2V.Text,R3_1V.Text,R3_2V.Text,R3_3V.Text,R3_4V.Text,R4_1V.Text,R4_2V.Text,R4_3V.Text,R4_4V.Text,R4_5V.Text,R5_1V.Text,R5_2V.Text,R6_1V.Text,R6_2V.Text,R6_3V.Text)

Re: Run flow if field is greater than 0

Got it to work.

I renamed a bunch of fields and re did the flow. looks to be working correctly now with the below.

If(Value(Justification.Text)>0,Justification_Output.Run

@WarrenBelz thank you for taking the time to help me out, really appreciated:-)
