Converting from String to Integer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 14

Hi All,

 

I have a number column (Billing ID) on my SharePoint list that contains unwanted commas and as a solution I created a single line of text column called Billing Account that contains calculated value of which it converts the integer to a string.

 

Now for my workflow, when I sent an email, the Billing Account is blank. Any idea why?

    Can you post a screen shot of your Flow?

     

    I just ran a quick test and had no issues.

    I have a SharePoint list with a number column (MyNumber) and a calculated text column (MyCalc) that references the number column.

    I send an email upon change that references the calculated column.

    My Flow runs without issue.

    Hi @zyraglee,

     

    Could you share more details on your scenario? Have you created a Calculated column to convert another column to type of single line of text?

     

    According to your description, I have made a similar test with @ScottShearer. It runs without issues, the value of the calculated column can be displayed in the email body.

     

    Please share more details for better understanding.

     

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel Mao
