Hello everyone,
I'm currently grabbing rows from an Excel sheet from today's date, creating a HTML table using certain columns from the Excel sheet and sending this table out in an email. My issue here is that although these rows have the same date, they have different times recorded in the 'Scheduled Time' column. You can see in the below example under the 'Scheduled Time' value in the arrays. Two are at 18:00 and two are at 20:00.
Ex array:
I've filtered out the scheduled times and have an "Apply for each" action around my "send outlook email v2" action so that way an email is sent for each time detected in the rows for today's date, but I can't get my HTML table to only contain values related to that time, instead all of the values are included in this case, the 6PM and 8PM emails.
Can someone please help? I've been stuck on this for a while and would appreciate any helps or tips!

No worries. The one issue I see with with your Select action is that you are selecting from the outputs of the List Rows Present in a Table action and not the Filtered Array.
Ideally, you'd want to be selecting the Meeting invitee's from the Filter Array results—unless I've missed something. However, I'm unclear on why you would be pulling out the email addresses in this way. Are you sending each invitee an email with both the 6PM and 8PM table? Or are the invitees only supposed to get the items that pertain to them?
I would then recommend using a variable to store the meeting invitees and use a condition to adjust the variable as needed.
Select Scheduled Time
You need to use a Select action on the Scheduled Time column of your Excel table. This will pull all your scheduled times into an array. You can format the time in this action as well.
Then you need to use a Compose action to combine the times and give you a list of unique times with the union() function. You can also sort the array if you'd like.
I've put all my actions into a Scope action, to keep things organized.
Apply to Each – Scheduled Time
Add an Apply to Each action to loop through each Scheduled Time.
Add a Filter Array action to Filter through your first Filtered Array (on Deployed items). For the first value, you'll need an expression:
item()?['ScheduledTime']Note: The text between the single quotes needs to match whatever the Filter Array output is displaying in red between double-quotes next to your Scheduled Time. From your original post, it may be Released Time. You will need to verify this.
The second value will be the current Item of the Apply to Each action. Since the Apply to Each action is looping through all the times, this is what you'll use to compare with the values you are filtering through.
RUN A TEST. I would run a test at this point before moving on to confirm that the Filter Array is returning the correct items.
After you've confirmed the Filter Array action is returning the correct items, add a Create HTML Table action with the outputs from the Filter Array. This will give you a table for each time you are looping through.
Send an Email
Again, I'm unclear on whether you are sending one email or multiple, but anyway, you can use the meeting invitee variable in the To field of the Send an Email action.
If you are sending an email per time, then you'll need to put the Send an Email action into the Apply to Each action.
Hope this helps.
@creativeopinion Here is how I'm getting my array, I hope I'm providing enough information it's just a long flow
@creativeopinion If it makes it easier this is my current email, I have two emails so far since I have two scheduled times of 6:00 and 8:00 for these rows in my excel sheet. I want each email to only have rows related to that time in it's email, so for this 6PM email I only want the first two rows with the 18:00:00 timestamp.
This is my 8PM email, I only want the bottom two rows related to the 20:00:00 timestamp to be sent along with this email.
Thank you
