Hi @SPOFLOW ,

I sugget you add a 'Compose' action to check the output of the Table1, make sure the output is an array.

I have made a test with the json you have provided.

I did as you suggested and added a compose.  my options from the parse json were numerous.

I thought choosing table1 would give me the results i wanted. However, I get no  results from it or "body". "Body" ,on the other hand, gives me this:

456.PNG

of course it fails when i try to put it to csv.  I'm at a loss.  not sure what to do at this point.

 

I figured it out but had to run it thorugh twice!
