Flow with calculated item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

Making my flow, I am using apply to each and float function. If the calculated cell data is less than 90 days it sends an email. 

 

Unfortunately It works if there is no formula in the excel cell, otherwise it fails. 

 

How can solve my problem? 🤔

    Hi,

     

    thank you for response. I got the problem. Problem was related to the date cell format. Somehow float function did not recognize the data. After I changed the dates in different cells into exact date format. And then flow worked.  the problem has been solved. 

     

    thanks..

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    I've succeeded in referencing excel cell value calculated from formula as a valid type in Flow.

     

    Could you tell me what kind of formula you have used in the calculated cell?

    Is the cell value in excel shown as integer, float or numbers mixed with characters?

     

    Could you show me the screenshot of the error?

    Hi,

     

    Cell in the excel (Bildirim Kalan Gun) has always a value, it is not empty and doesn't contain "." 

     

    I have used int function before but It didnt work. 

     

    Problem is related to the formula in the excel cell. If there is no formula flow works when I just write number manually. 

     

    I saw the same problem in my other list flow.  Flow can not recognize the calculated value in the cell or in the list item.  😞

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    May I assume that the calculated cell data is divided into 3 types: null, float, integer?

     

    I’ve created a flow as below:

     

    First, check if the column value is empty. If yes, do nothing. If no, go on.

     

    Secondly, check if the column value contains ‘.’. If yes, convert the string into float. If no, convert the string into integer.

     

    Finally, check whether the float or number is less than 90. If yes, send an email. If no, do nothing.
