Hi,

I have this array that has two columns, "Price" and "Quantity"

<root>
  <array>
    <Product>A
    </Product>
    <Price>120
    </Price>
    <Quantity>45307
    </Quantity>
  </array>
  <array>
    <Product>B
    </Product>
    <Price>58
    </Price>
    <Quantity>2530
    </Quantity>
  </array>
  <array>
    <Product>C
    </Product>
    <Price>165
    </Price>
    <Quantity>685
    </Quantity>
  </array>
</root>

I would like to add a calculated column to this array to calculate the total value for each product, "Value" = Price * Quantity. I am looking for a XPath solution rather than "Apply to each", if possible.

Thanks.

Hi @CU20021609-0

Try like as shown below

1. Use a compose action to store the xml input

2. Use Select action to perform the calculated column operation as shown below

Expression:

json(xml(outputs('Compose')))?['root/array']

Expression:

addProperty(item(),'Value',string(mul(float(item()?['Price']),float(item()?['Quantity']))))

3. Use a compose action to structure the array like below

4. use compose action to convert the json in above compose action to xml.

Final XML looks like this

<root><array><Product>A</Product><Price>120</Price><Quantity>45307</Quantity><Value>5436840</Value></array><array><Product>B</Product><Price>58 </Price><Quantity>2530</Quantity><Value>146740</Value></array><array><Product>C</Product><Price>165</Price><Quantity>685 </Quantity><Value>113025</Value></array></root>
