Hi

I'm trying to extract the value txtApprouved from a Word document using Power Automate, but I'm encountering issues with my XPath expression.

Here’s the structure of the document I’m working with:

Object: {1}
Document: {37}
Body: {3}
- Paragraphs (p): [9]
  - 0: {6}
  - 1: {7}
  - 2: {8}
    - pPr: {6}
    - Runs (r): [4]
      - Structured Document Tag (sdt): {3}
        
        sdtPr: {7}
        
        rPr: {2}
        
        Alias:
        
        _w:val: txtApprouvedBy
        
        __prefix: w
        
        Tag: {2}
        
        Placeholder: {2}
        
        docPart: {2}
        
        _w:val: DefaultPlaceholder_-1854013440
        
        __prefix: w
        
        sdtContent: {2}
        
        Runs (r): {4}
        
        rPr: {2}
        
        Text (t): {2}
        
        __prefix: w
        
        __text: administration

My current XPath expression is as follows:

xpath(xml(outputs('Xml')), 'string(//*[local-name()="sdt"][.//*[local-name()="alias"][@w:val="txtApprouvedBy"]]//*[local-name()="sdtContent"]//*[local-name()="t"]/text())')

However, I'm getting an error indicating that the XPath can't extract the desired text.

Can someone help me troubleshoot this XPath expression or suggest an alternative method to extract the txtApprouved value?

Thank you!
