Retrieving get item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

I'm using 'Get Item' with the Excel Online (Business) connector to retrieve a particular row from an Excel table. How do I get the underlying value from one of the columns, I'm trying to get 'Column2' now for usage in a subsequent step? The get item step is named "Get Geographic Focus".

Attached is the output from the 'Get Item' step, I'm trying to obtain the value "All" from body/Column2.

I've tried so far

 

body('GetGeographicFocus')?['Column2']

 

as well as

 

outputs('GetGeographicFocus')?['body']?['value']?[0]?['Column2']

    Thank you, @Alex256 . That was precisely it. Sorry to bug with simple questions, sometimes the solutions are so near.

    For everyone's benefit, expression used to obtain the Column 2 value is

    body('Get_Geographic_Focus')?['Column2']

    So, you need to change the name of the step in your expression into:  Get_Geographic_Focus

    Hi @eltibu ï¼Œ

    If you want to take the value of Column2 in the first item,please try this expression:

    outputs('Get_Geographic_Focus')?['body/value']?[0]?['Column2']
