Cannot put output in an expression in an "apply to each" loop

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MathieuF 10

Hi there,

I can't seem to wrap an output from a previous block into an expression in an "apply to each" loop.

I have no problem putting the output alone, but embedded in an expression, I have no choice.

Can you help me ?

    Thanks for your help, I tried that and it worked fine.
    Too bad it's not easier to implement.

    Hi @MathieuF,

     

    I see you are writing your expression in the dynamic content tab (contenu dynamique). Have you tried it in the expression tab instead?

     

    If that still does not work, you could try this workaround:

     

    1. Select your field first in the dynamic content tab.

    2. After that use the peek code feature in the settings of the action

    3. Copy the code reference of the field

    4. Go back to the action. Click into the Expression tab this time. Type replace() and copy past your field code reference within the parentheses.

    Hi @MathieuF,

     

    A workaround could be to add a Compose just before your Excel action and try and write your expression in there. If that works you can copy/paste it afterwards within your field in the expression tab.
