Can't get the value of CreatedBy column from CDS table using PowerAutomate

[rajasimman]

In my flow, I'm accessing the list of rows from the CDS table and I have tried to get the value of CreatedBy column (which is username who created the record) but I'm getting the GUID of the user instead of the username. It would be helpful if anyone gives a solution for this.

Thanks in advance

Hi @rajasimman ,

Can you share which table you are querying and what you are getting?  Please share a sceeenshot of the flow if possible

Hi @eric-cheng , thanks for your reply

Here is my flow...

Output :
1) Body of Get a row by ID 

{
..........,
..........,

"_createdby_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "Rajasimman R",

"_createdby_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname": "systemuser",

"_createdby_value@odata.type": "#Guid",

"_createdby_value": "6c1958de-74a9-eb11-b1ac-000d3a998ae5"
..........,
...........
}
I'm trying to get the CreatedBy value as Rajasimman R but I'm getting the GUID of the user (i.e - 6c1958de-74a9-eb11-b1ac-000d3a998ae5)



2) Intialize Variable

Hi  , 

Try this.  Paste this into the value of your variable

@outputs('Get_a_row_by_ID')?['body/_createdby_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue']
