Issues using Power Automate to copy from Excel to Sharepoint List

Posted on by

Hello!

 

Let me start by saying I have been reading through similar problems and I have tried out:

- if(equals(x,''),null,x)

- if(empty(x),null)

- DateTime Format is set to ISO 8601

 

My flow takes data from Excel (table) and adds it to a SharePoint List.  I am running into two issues:

1. My blank date fields throw an error

2. My flow creates 4x of the records

 

1. I've seen this all over the place but the error it gives me is: 

"The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/field_23' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '""' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'."

My function currently has: If(empty(item()?['Award Date']),null,item()?['Award Date'])

where 'Award Date' is the Dynamic content field from Excel.

 

2. I'm not sure what I messed up in my flow, but each record is getting added 4 times. I will unclude screenshots.
