Make the MS graph invoke data to the SharePoint list

[ilu989]

Hi Everybody,

I take a long time to search for the relevant writing to my flow stuck if you have any solution will appreciate for your help!

My flow scheme share as follows the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m_zFgFYUxs2JZFoQc27ENnzVZTW0ZZlm/view

The scheme explains:

Send an HTTP request to take the excel file form SharePoint and invoke the excel's data from HTTP, finally retrieve the pure data form "Value", this way is good for avoiding the SharePoint's versioning setting of "Require Check out" and don't need to format the excel file to be the table type, also quick and efficiently, but I stuck with the data after invoking from HTTP, please see below photo for the data get from "Value" and names it rows: 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t32RDFPeorDH5aChbsMxV0ryGUwnUMts/view

[

[

"No",

"CD",

"CAT",

"Sub CAT",

],

[

2,

"Add1",

"Test1",

"format3",

"Yes",

"No",

]

[

3,

"Add2",

"Test2",

"format3",

"No",

"No",

]

]

The data has no title, I would like to make the rows has a title, just like below content, because I need the title for each of the rows to define each row to apply to the SharePoint list:

[

"No": "2",

"CD": "Add1",

"CAT": "Test1",

"Sub CAT": "format3",

],

[

"No": "3",

"CD": "Add2",

"CAT": "Test3",

"Sub CAT": "format4",

]

]

I try to use the Select to convert it, but no idea how to get it, cause the "Value" content no title for formula to quote.

Refer to some article(below link) but their issue has a title and no need to overcome this situation, if you have some idea, please advice, thank you.

Hi @ilu989,

Convert an array into the object in Flow is hard to work with, I'm not sure it would work.

The array you provide is invalid, you may need to remove every member's ',' character.

After that, you can initialize another array to store the processed data, then use the Append to array variable action to append it:

This is the instance that creates the array according to the first record, cause it has multiple records, so we may need an index variable to loop it. Then you can use the Apply to each action or Do until.

{
"variable(rows)[0][0]":variable('row')[1][0],
"variable(rows)[0][1]":"variable('row')[1][1]",
"variable(rows)[0][2]":"variable('row')[1][2]",
"variable(rows)[0][3]":"variable('row')[1][3]"
}

 Result:

Hi @v-litu-msft ,

Thanks for your response, this method is available!

But I have over 1000 item need to array(very hard work) and it seems can't be chosen in the dynamic content for further application, so I can't apply this method in my flow, but I find "current item" can be applied to make each of the arrays independent, so far no idea how to make exchange to my request("Title":"value"), do you have any idea?

Hi @ilu989,

This method Apply to each + Compose I have tested, the process of ',' is impossible in the Apply to each cause the initialize of an array can not support.

So, if you have 1000 items, you can like create a number variable use the range() function, to generate a number array [1,2,3,4...,1000].

Then put it into the Apply to each get each item() of Count as the first index of variable rows.

This is the output.

So, now the problem is how to get the Rows array which each member's end has no addition comma.

Hi @v-litu-msft ,

The comma is the typo of my first writing, sorry for misleading!

The array do not have the comma issue in the actual run, cause the data was created from the MS graph.

On the other hands, is this possible to use Apply to each + Compose to let them pair to what I need, and the pair can possibly quote in the dynamic content?

Thank you very much for your kind to respond to my question! thank you.

Hi @ilu989,

So, if you assist to use Apply to each + Compose method, could you please share a correct instance?

I will try to find a way to process it.

Dear @v-litu-msft,

Thanks for your kind response!  I use the less amount item for demonstration, it's only has 9 items but the actually work have more than1000 items for apply, please refer to below content:

Initialize variable content:

[

[

"Physical properties:",

"2-102",

"2-103",

"2-104",

"2-105",

"2-106",

"2-107",

"2-108"

],

[

"Weight",

".+5%.- 5% ",

".+5%.- 5% ",

".+5%.- 5% ",

".+5%.- 5% ",

".+5%.- 5% ",

".+5%.- 5% ",

".+5%.- 5% "

],

[

"Height",

"25 N",

"35 N",

"45 N",

" 40 N",

" 45 N",

" 45 N",

"12 N"

],

[

"Count",

"25 N",

"35 N",

"45 N",

" 40 N",

" 45 N",

" 45 N",

"12 N"

],

[

"Count1",

"500 N",

"500 N",

"667 N",

" 667 N",

" 667 N",

" 667 N",

" 220 N"

],

[

"Teat AB",

"25 N",

"35 N",

"45 N",

" 40 N",

" 45 N",

" 45 N",

"12 N"

],

[

"Tester ABD",

"25 N",

"35 N",

"45 N",

" 40 N",

" 45 N",

" 45 N",

"12 N"

],

[

"Tester 127632",

"500 N",

"500 N",

"667 N",

" 667 N",

" 667 N",

" 667 N",

" 220 N"

],

[

"ID name 29321",

"500 N",

"500 N",

"667 N",

" 667 N",

" 667 N",

" 667 N",

" 220 N"

]

]

Below is the first data form Apply to each+compose:

[

"Physical properties:",

"2-102",

"2-103",

"2-104",

"2-105",

"2-106",

"2-107",

"2-108"

]

The target is to make it has a title and be chosen in the dynamic content for further application, title model demonstration as below: [ [ "Physical properties:":"Weight", "2-102":".+5%.- 5% ", "2-103":".+5%.- 5% ", "2-104":".+5%.- 5% ", "2-105":".+5%.- 5% ", "2-106":".+5%.- 5% ", "2-107":".+5%.- 5% ", "2-108":".+5%.- 5% " ], [ " Physical properties:":"Height", "2-102":"25 N", "2-103":"35 N", "2-104":"45 N", "2-105":" 40 N", "2-106":" 45 N", "2-107":" 45 N", "2-108":"12 N" ], [ " Physical properties:":"Count", "2-102":"25 N", "2-103":"35 N", "2-104":"45 N", "2-105":" 40 N", "2-106":" 45 N", "2-107":" 45 N", "2-108":"12 N" ] ]

Hi @ilu989,

I create a Flow as below, I put the 2-D array into the array variable named Test, after that initialize an array variable use the Apply to each action to append it. The appended code is following the screenshots:

{
"Physical properties": @{item()[0]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][1]}": @{item()[1]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][2]}": @{item()[2]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][3]}": @{item()[3]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][4]}": @{item()[4]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][5]}": @{item()[5]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][6]}": @{item()[6]},
"@{variables('Test')[0][7]}": @{item()[7]}
}

Run result:
