Hi all,

I have the same problem of this post:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Access-Variable-at-Runtime/m-p/351891

I want:

1) to save on Sharepoint my templates.

2) read their content

3) substitute variable (I cannot find a solution to this issue)

The proposed solution is not so clear.

This is my flow:

My file content is:

This is the variable in File: @{variables('VariableInFile')}

As you can see in the last compose the variable was not replaced.

Hi @AnthonyDes,
Do you want to set the input of compose as variable?
You can add the variables by clicking manually.
What's more, please offer me your screen shot in edit mode, In order to better help you.

Best Regards,
Kyrie

Hey @AnthonyDes

You will have to write expressions in expression tab.

See Below:

You are using it as this:

But instead select the compose, then click on expressions. And write the expression there:

But before pressing ok remove @ and {} brackets.

And it should look like this:

I hope this helps 🙂

The input of compose inside my flux is the file content.
I am using compose in this case only to demonstrate that variable "VariableInFile" is not changed
