ActionConditionFailed when trying to evaluate if a person in the excel table already exists in our planner

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 72

Hello all, 

 

I am currently trying to evaluate an expression in my condition where if the title of a task in planner is equal to one of the titles im importing from excel it will go through a true or false condition:

If true, the flow will update task details to match the excel.

If false, the flow will create a task and update its details to match the excel.

 

Though when doing a test run I'm hit with this error:

ActionConditionFailed

The execution of template action 'Condition' is skipped: there are no items to repeat.
 
Here is a full picture of my flow:

    @Medes The content of the Title column in your Excel sheet will never match the body/value of the Filter Array action. The body/value dynamic content of the Filter Array action outputs an array of items.

    Are you using the Microsoft Power Automate Filter Array Action wrong?

    In this video tutorial I’ll show you 3 practical ways to use the Filter Array action and how to use it properly.

     

    1️⃣ Cross-Referencing Data

    2️⃣ Filtering by Key

    3️⃣ Substring Matching

     

    Did you know that the Condition action has a limit of 10 conditions? Although it might look like the Filter Array action can only accept one condition—this is not true. By using the advanced mode you can enter multiple conditions into a Filter Array action with an expression.
