Get Column Value from Get items first record

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,265

I have a Flow that performs a Get items.  The Get items - Filter Query is including records from the previous month.  I would like to capture the value in a Column named 'DateEntry' in the first record of the Get items output.  How can I obtain this value and use for further steps in the Flow?

 

I need all the Get items information so a Get item isn't feasible.  I need to use the date to identify the Month, Year and Number of Days in the identified month.

    Hello @RJF61 ,

    you can use the first(...) expression on the output of 'Get items' to take only the first item and then select the desired value from the JSON as explained here: https://tomriha.com/how-to-get-a-specific-value-from-a-json-object-in-power-automate/

    Or you can use 1 in the 'Get items' Top Count field, that way it'll return only one item from the list - you can use the dynamic content, it'll add 'Apply to each' but since it'll return only 1 item it won't matter.
