'The expression must include a number.'

When I try to set up a loop action, even though I input the number correctly, I get an error saying, 'The expression must include a number.' Could you please provide a solution to this issue

    Since you are using PowerFx enabled flow put equal(=) sign before the numbers

    Power Fx has bit different syntax than default PAD.
    Most people use the default one still so ff you want to avoid difficulties like this make a new flow without Power Fx enabled:

    Hi @ato1 

    @One of the reason may be that what@eetuRobo mentioned ...check that .please try to create a new flow and copy paste the flow into the new flow and disable power fx....

     

    Or if you have already disabled power fx and still you are getting the same error....

    The input you are getting as the text....even though it is a number........

    If this is the problem then use convert text to number...give input as the variable which has the number....and then the output put of this activity will be converted as number....

    Use this output in your further process.......

     

    Hope this helps

    Usha.
