Moving data from an HTTP Get request to an Excel sheet

Hello,

We are creating a small reimbursement app and we need to be able to move data from a server to an excel sheet that I use as a data source in the reimbursement app. My API GET request already works fine with the HTTP component so I can get the data but I'm not really sure where to go from here as I'm not very well versed with JSON.

I used a parse json component to get the items I'll need from the data received in the GET request. I just want to be able to select "title" from the "results" data I get from the GET request and have powerapps replace what the excel sheet has with that "title" data. Each GET request will include anywhere between 30 - 100 titles.

Hi, thank you for providing the JSON, this is very helpful for troubleshooting.

 

I modified my example flow to more closely match yours. We have that array variable called Accounting Class, it should contain the following array after being parsed:

TrekW_0-1685626279150.png

All 6 of these items in the array also contain their own array of objects called "budget" but I collapsed them to make this more readable.

 

This array looks good, we just need to iterate over all of the items and grab the string called "title".

 

Your first Apply To Each loop looks good, it is iterating over all of our items we just discussed which are stored in Accounting Class variable. The second loop seems redundant; with the loops nested like that, it means that we are looping through the entire list 6 times for every item in the list (6x6=36 times).

 

Try moving your excel action out of the second loop, into the first one and deleting the second loop.

Then change the variable in the excel action to:

items('Apply_to_each')?['title']

This is saying "for the current item we are looking at in the loop called "Apply_to_each", get the field called "title".

 

When I run the flow, I get the results I think we want:

I hope this helps! If you are still having problems, we may want to ensure you have the parse JSON step setup correctly for the payload you are giving it. I just pasted what you gave me here into the "generate from sample" tool it provides and that worked out nicely for me.

If I understand correctly, you currently have the HTTP step working correctly, and it returns some output (these 30-100 titles, all within an array). You want to get one field from each item in the array and add that field to an excel sheet.

 

This is hard for me to test without having the actual output from your HTTP GET, but I used an example JSON that contains an array. It should be comparable. I've included the example JSON I used.

 

I have a flow with a Compose step that simply contains that JSON, this should imitate your HTTP step. Following the HTTP step, we want a Parse JSON action. I used "Generate from sample", where I pasted in my example JSON payload, and it generated the schema for me (it looks like you already have your schema). Now, Power Automate is aware of how our data is structured and we can use dynamic values in other steps.

 

After the parse, I wanted to shove the whole array from our JSON into an array variable to make it easier to work with, although this is not necessary, and I didn't actually use it in the end. I initialized a variable, set its type to "array" and for the "value" I used dynamic content and chose "books" since that is the array in my example JSON. I believe your schema would need you to select "budgets".

 

Now I skip ahead and create a "Add a row into a table" step (Excel Online Connector). I point it to my One Drive, select a library, select an example file, and select a table (I had to literally go into excel and click "insert -> table" to make this work). This part was stubborn, it took me a few tries to get right. I even had to type my table name into Power Automate manually and tell it to use it as a custom value. Once you make it happy with your File and table (or use a different excel connector), you just need to put a value in the input field which is named after your column in excel. I selected "title", which is part of the "books" array. This instantly created an Apply to each step focused on the "books" field, and filled in the "title" field for my value. 

 

Now, I have a flow that will pretend to get a value from an HTTP step (its just a pre-filled compose), parse the JSON from the previous step, and iterate through the array in the JSON. For every item in the array, it will add a row to our excel sheet which contains the "title" field for that item. I don't know if this is exactly what you need, but I think it will help you move in the right direction. Best of luck!

Okay I think we are close but not quite. I tried it without initializing and got an error, "The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@body('Parse_JSON')' is of type 'Object'. The result must be a valid array."
After initializing the flow runs but nothing in my excel sheet changes.

These are the outputs i'm working with I want specifically the "title" value from the "results" array. (so 1 - EV Services, 2 - Fiber Services", ... so on so forth) Which my parse json shows as the output value so the parse json is getting that content.

Just not sure why it isn't putting anything into the excel sheet.

Hi, thank you for providing the JSON, this is very helpful for troubleshooting.

 

I modified my example flow to more closely match yours. We have that array variable called Accounting Class, it should contain the following array after being parsed:

TrekW_0-1685626279150.png

All 6 of these items in the array also contain their own array of objects called "budget" but I collapsed them to make this more readable.

 

This array looks good, we just need to iterate over all of the items and grab the string called "title".

 

Your first Apply To Each loop looks good, it is iterating over all of our items we just discussed which are stored in Accounting Class variable. The second loop seems redundant; with the loops nested like that, it means that we are looping through the entire list 6 times for every item in the list (6x6=36 times).

 

Try moving your excel action out of the second loop, into the first one and deleting the second loop.

Then change the variable in the excel action to:

items('Apply_to_each')?['title']

TrekW_5-1685627249017.png

This is saying "for the current item we are looking at in the loop called "Apply_to_each", get the field called "title".

 

When I run the flow, I get the results I think we want:

TrekW_1-1685626751387.png

 

 

I hope this helps! If you are still having problems, we may want to ensure you have the parse JSON step setup correctly for the payload you are giving it. I just pasted what you gave me here into the "generate from sample" tool it provides and that worked out nicely for me.
