Initialize a variable fails with value of float

[citykidz]

I am building a flow that runs when someone adds an attachment to an item in a Sharepoint list.  I have to specify which item; in this case the row number is called 'ReqID'; it's a column in Sharepoint that's type is "Number".  I initialized the variable in PowerAutomate  because I need to reference it in the content of an Adaptive Card.   PowerAutomate threw an error and told me this was a new issue and I should post it here:

Error:
Action 'Initialize_variable' failed

Error details:
Bad Request. The variable 'ReqID' of type 'Integer' cannot be initialized or updated with value of type 'Float'. The variable 'ReqID' only supports values of types 'Integer'.

I guess I need to figure out a way of converting a floating point value to an integer so Power Automate doesn't barf.

Here's a screen shot of my flow, if you need it:

Please advise.

Hi @citykidz 

Try using the below expression. Store the value in a variable float and in your next compose action step use the below expression

first(split(string(variables('Float')),'.'))

Use int() function: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/int-function-not-working-as-expected/td-p/418008
