Looks like there's a false positive? I don't know how to get rid of it...

This flow works completely, but it still raises an error on my apply to each loop saying "An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded." which is just plain wrong. Am I misunderstanding something here?

    I've even tried removing the variables and the compose (they're redundant right now) and it STILL shows an error even when I definitely receive an email with all the information in it that I was trying to retrieve from all the rows that met my conditions...

    @JoshuaWalters Can you share a screenshot of your flow in the Classic Designer (toggle off the New Designer) with all actions expanded.

     

    This notice: An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded means that there aren't any items for the Apply to Each (aka For Each) action to loop through. I'm assuming you have a Filter Query in your List Rows Present in a Table action. 

     

    The Filter Query in the List Rows Present in a table action only accepts a single condition. If you need to filter your rows with more than one condition, you'll need to use the Filter Array action. 

     

    In the meantime, you might find these YT Tutorials helpful:

     

    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.

    Thanks for your quick response, here it is:

    I haven't changed anything in the advanced options of any of my nodes, so I'm not actually filtering anything; I'm looping through all rows and only actioning ones that meet my condition.

    Never mind, I found out what the issue was but without @creativeopinion I wouldn't have found it. The error was much more verbose in the old designer view, and actually told me it was a formatting error because I accept both dates and the word "INDEFINITE" in one of my date columns. It was trying to format a non-datelike string into a date format... Basically, just don't use the garbage new design view.
