Take Value from Column A, Clean it Up, Populate Column B

Posted on by 222

I have a flow that populates a text column with the folder path. I want to take the folder path, replace the slash with a comma and a space, and populate the Keywords site column.

 

From:

library/folder/subfolder/sub-subfolder

 

To:

library, folder, subfolder, sub-subfolder

 

I'm new to flow, but a solid Nintex user. I know it can be done and rather simply, but I'm not sure how. I guess you could say I'm learning flow by immersion (see what I did there?).

    This sounds like a Power Automate question rather than a PowerApps question. You are welcome to post it here but I suggest you post this in the Power Automate Community instead. You’ll get a quicker and better response over there

    In Flow you use the Replace() function in PowerApps you use Substitute(). Without seeing your flow I can't comment and give you a solution but this link may help

    Note that Flow uses single quotes in their functions whereas PowerApps uses double quotes, which can trip you up when starting out in Flow.
