Converting an Array to Integer

Hi All,

I have a choice list that comes from an external form (cognito forms) it comes through as an array because when I try to put it through as a integer it adds the value for all selected and therefore doesn't let the information go through to my Datasource "Dataverse table"

Example:

I select Hat(1), Scarf(2) & Socks(3) and the data the comes through = 7

So because of this is there a way that when the data comes in as a array Hat, Scarf & Socks, I can then convert the array to integer 1, 2 & 3 and then patch that through to my Dataverse table choice column

Hopefully that makes sense 🙂

Hi , @carrie-anne27

According to your description, you want to convert an array to an Interactive in flow?
I don't quite understand what you mean.

Why I select Hat(1), Scarf(2) & Socks(3) and the data the comes through = 7? 1+2+3 =6....

And can you give me an detailed example you need to realize it in your side?

For example, give me what you're currently getting and what you want to get in the end in the Power Automate?

Best Regards,

Yueyun Zhang

Hi , @carrie-anne27

Thanks for your response!

Do you mean you get the array:

["Hat", "Scarf", "Socks"]

And you want to convert it to :
1,2,3 (This is a String not Integer!)

If this , you can refer to :

replace(replace(replace( join(outputs('Compose') , ',') , 'Hat' , '1') , 'Scarf' ,'2' ) , 'Socks' ,'3')

Best Regards,

Sorry, I am still new to this. I need to get these choices to a multi choice column.
The data from cognito forms comes through as ["Hat", "Scarf", "Socks"] and when I try to add row in the dataverse the error comes back as
The optionset values sent ["Hat", "Scarf", "Socks"] are not valid integers.
