Get a Row isn't finding my key value

Hi,

I am developing a form which takes userIDs to create an out of office notification. I am trying to use Get a Row (Excel) to find a value (an email address)) on a spreadsheet and then return the userid from another column (hmy).

When I test the flow, it returns a "No row was found with Id 'test.user@test.com'" error and fails the test. I cannot find out why this is happening as I have copied the value used on the form from the spreadsheet being interrogated.

In the Get a Row function, the excel details have been found (location, library, file, table, key) and the values are being updated when I switch between available tables, so am confident that the data is available.

Update:
changed PersonAway to use tolower to avoid issues with case sensitivity and values in excel uname are entered trimmed and lowercase.
 
PersonAway is found in Get user profile but not in the excel.

@BS-13021258-0 It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing your full flow and the logic behind it. Toggle off the New Designer and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.

This is case-sensitive. Is the value in your spreadsheet formatted exactly the same way you submitted it in the form?

David_MA, I have posted a screenshot. I have actually copied and pasted the values from the spreadsheet to ensure values are the same.
