How to reference an item in a data table?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hello, I am working with a table variable in Power Automate, and I have a loop that iterates through each row of the table. Each row is stored in the variable currentItem. I need to reference a specific column within the current row (currentItem). However, when I select dynamic content, only currentItem appears as an option, and I cannot see the columns individually. I have tried expressions like currentItem()?['ColumnName'], but I keep encountering syntax errors, such as "unexpected characters." How can I reference a specific column in the current row within a loop? Thank you!

    Hey Hi,
     
    Please find the solution.
     
     
    Please try this syntax : %CurrentItem['HeaderNameinExcel']%

    I had the same question and was able to solve it through the following syntax:
     
    CurrentItem.ColumnName
     
    For example:
     
    CurrentItem.HourlyRate
