Hi @JimmyWork 

 

This is the solution I did based on your data.

su1.png

 

Below declare an enterkey. Under the value press enter key. This I am using for the split expression in next step.

 

su2.png

 

su3.png

Above I have added one space each between PM

 

su4.png

 

 

Expressions are:

last(split(outputs('Extract_array_index_one'), ' PM '))
last(split(outputs('Extract_array_index_one'), ' AM '))
 
Finally output is as follows:

I guess my split is the issue but im not getting it right.

 

split(body('Html_to_text'),':')

The above provides the issue.

 

split(body('Html_to_text'),'PM')

 

works but misses everything posted in AM, first time using split command Smiley Sad

Hi @epn 

 

Think I got a solution for you but it a bit messy because of the nature of the data. Could we do a screenshare so that I can explain everything to you. If not no worries I could take a screenshot of my flow and post it.

 

Thanks

@abm Not sure how i do a screenshare. And i belive if i use split the correct way i can get my data sorted.

 

My complete flow is at the top post with the result im getting. Let me know if i can provide anything else

@abm 

 

If i do

split(body('Html_to_text'),'M ')

My result is

Nytt 1

Name User
10/10/2019 10:16 P

Thats fine but i have a P or A at the end i guess?

Would be best if i could just get the "Nytt 1"

Hi @JimmyWork 

 

What you could do is check with an If condition value is PM or AM?

 

pm.png

 

 

Add a space between PM.

 

The use the split for AM or PM to retrieve the value.

 

If you need further help I can post the solution.
