Extracted table from PDF using AI Model and creating a list item in sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Maxcavalli 15

I have developed and trained an AI model to extract a table from a PDF document.  There are 3 columns and 1 or more rows in the table depending on the PDF.  The data is the same and is correctly extracted and tagged.  I created a PA flow to run the model when a file is dropped into the shared folder.  I have created a Parse JSON and Compose step to validate the data is accurately extracted.  Both are giving the correct output when looking at the Output.   When it runs through the Appy to each loop to extract the individual values from the table I keep getting this error:

 

ExpressionEvaluationFailed. The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each_2' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@body('Parse_JSON')?['tables']?['Account_4e59b6c72f6fd0b3907a5dff07b0c5d3']?['entries']' is of type 'Null'. The result must be a valid array.

 

I checked the JSON schema and that is working ( 

{"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.expando","x":0.14494117568520939,"y":0.97352730144153943}]}}}]}],"tables":{"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.expando","Account_4e59b6c72f6fd0b3907a5dff07b0c5d3":

). I would love for some assistance on how to solve this.

    Hi @Maxcavalli 

     

    does value under property  entries which is under property Account_4e59b6c72f6fd0b3907a5dff07b0c5d3 has any value or it is null. As json structure which you have shared does not have these values present 🙂

    Hi @Maxcavalli 

     

    Could you show me how the json content looks in body('Parse_JSON') expression, reason because something using incorrect property can create the issue of null.

     

    So need to see the json structure in full so that to see if any nesting occurred by which you are getting null ?
