Convert Multiple choice form item into word

[Parth1706]

Hello, 

How can I convert a multiple choice response into a single Colum response in a word ?

I'm having issues removing special chars from my response. I can convert the word into PDF in power automate, this issue is the just the way response is coming. 

here's the example

A couple of steps are needed to sort this out. First, add a terminate action after your get response details and test the flow. The flow history will give you the ID of the multi-select  option question:

Copy that ID and delete the terminate action. Next add a compose action, click in the Inputs field and in the dynamic content box select the expression tab and add the following expression replacing my question ID with yours:

replace(replace(replace(replace(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r7d861ea010544f01bdc9e0ce4396608e'], ']',''),'[',' '),'"',''),',',', ')

In this example I've sent the result by email but you can just as easily add it into Word.

The trick is to convert the array of values (which comes back as a string) to JSON. Then join the values with what you want. See expression below.

join(json(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/rbffbec37339a4b4eba59abec9635dcbb']), ', ')

//Syntax
join(json(YOUR_QUESTION), ', ')

Hello Grantjenkins, 

Thank you for your response.

I changed my flow to per your suggestion as well.

And it also worked. But as I mentioned above (comment back to RobElliott) I cannot get the response as one person on each line.

Can you help?

thank you

Can you try the following which will join the items by a carriage return and line break.

join(json(YOUR_QUESTION), 'decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A')')

Then go into the properties of your control and set it to allow carriage returns.
