How to perform a VLookup in Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 34

Hello, 

I'm seeking some guidance to create a VLOOKUP function within Power Automate.  I have a monthly worker report that generates workers who have missing timesheets. My goal is to automate the email reminders to have suppliers update timesheets accordingly. I'll need to create a vlookup against the worker report to pull in the supplier emails from my distro list.

Currently, I have configured the flow to filter rows based on the missing timesheet status and to count these instances. Additionally, I've also extracted unique supplier names. I'm not sure what my next step would be to be able to pull the correct supplier email addresses to the corresponding supplier.  Please let me know if you need further details - thank you!

    Hi @tliwanag 

     

    to get details of supplier details from the timsheet table,

     

    loop through results of union operation which you have did on supplier column.

    Now inside loop, use filter array to filter the timesheet data with current supplier being iterated.

    Now use send email action to send email to the supplier with the data.

    Hi @Nived_Nambiar Thank you for the reply. Inside the loop, I have the filter array set up to filter the missing timesheet data. However, my confusion is how to pull in the supplier emails table into that loop so it can vlookup the the supplier email with the corresponding supplier name. Would I have to use the 'Get a row' action to pull in those emails?

    @Nived_Nambiar I will have 2 tables, 1 with the data and the other with the supplier email addresses. Should I be adding the 2nd table in the flow prior to the loop?

    Hi @Nived_Nambiar Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I need to combine that table with this one below so that I can pull in Supplier emails.

    Here is what I've done so far. But I'm not sure if the apply to each section is correct and what outputs I need to enter.

    Yes, I'm looping through the supplier unique details which is working great, but how can I pull in the supplier email addresses from table 2? I essentially need to do a vlookup to get the supplier email addresses for the corresponding supplier and then send out the email.
