Remove spaces from string

Posted on by TimBroeren

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a flow and I'd like to remove spaces from a string. It works for me in other flows and I use the same formula in Power Automate.

I've got an example where the surname is divided by a space.

I use the following formula in the Compose action. replace(body('output_surname'),' ',''). What I expect to see is that "Sur Name" becomes "SurName". When the testflow has run, I check the input if the example above is expected. But the input value is already "SurName". While in fact it's not. When the following action is to add a row to Excel. The surname-value gives "Sur Name".

Can you guys help? Why is the input "SurName", while it's in fact "Sur Name".

I look forward to your replies.

@TimBroeren - Is the response from a MS Forms? and are you trying to remove the space from output of ParseJSON output. As you mentioned something it is working in another Flow instance, so something might be different.

I created a variable first and after I created this variable I composed this variable. My problem is solved.
