How to filter unique JSON data?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sayyedkohler 313

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to filter JSON data using one column(UniqueId).
Suppose I have this type of JSON data:

[
{Name: "User1", UniqueId: "UID1"},
{Name: "User2", UniqueId: "UID2"},
{Name: "User3", UniqueId: "UID1"}
]

I want this JSON data to be in this form:

[
{Name: "User1", UniqueId: "UID1"},
{Name: "User2", UniqueId: "UID2"}
]

 As I already have UID1 on the 1st row, so I don't want to add any further rows with the same UniqueId.

Thanks

    item().UniqueId

    union(body('Select'),body('Select'))

    1.

    item().UniqueId
     
    2.
    items('Apply_to_each').UniqueId
     
    3.
    body('Filter_array')[0]

    Hey @sayyedkohler 

    did you try to use the action "Filter array"? Your data is in an array format, so you should be able to filter this with this action.

     

    Does this help you? Otherwise please give me some more information.

    Best regards
    Marvin
