Thanks. I am trying this flow but getting error in second compose box where we use chunk expression. Can you guide me what I am doing wrong here?

FYI - Encodian has a "Parse HTML Table" action for those that just want to do this with a mouse click. It extracts HTML table data into JSON. You can also pass through an entire HTML file (e.g. website extract) and it will identify the tables.

 

its also a utility action meaning it only consumes 0.05 credits. Parse 20 tables with a single credit.

Thanks, but do not want to use credit, as it will be a daily activity and will not feasible. Sorry.

@PreethamHegde ,

The error suggests you might have some unsupported tags in your html.

Provided that your HTML is properly formed, you can follow the steps by referring to this video

Extract HTML Table from Email in Power Automate (youtube.com)

I had watched this video earlier and tried to follow the steps but there also got some error and got stuck. How to find is there any unsupported tags?

@SudeepGhatakNZ 

Using the Video you shared, I copied my first compose output and got below output from Xpather.com. Now how to read the (//table//tbody//tr//td[1]) data below header 1 is empty or not? I am not familiar with HTML.

@PreethamHegde ,

You can download the template available on @DamoBird365 's Github site.

If I were you, I would refrain from comparing the HTML tables in flow.

A proper approach would be to enter the data in a SharePoint list and performing the comparison using list actions.

Sorry could not able to find the template. Also, are you saying to capture the table information received in body of the email to Sharepoin list and then compare it?

Yes, that is what I meant.

By the way the flow template is attached.
