New User trying to create a CSV - Creating a CSV from a List of Projects stored in Harvest using the connector

[Richard-J]

Hi,

Am new to Power Automate and finding my feet with it so apologies if the post doesn't make sense.

I'm trying to create a scheduled flow which connects to Harvest to return a list of Projects that I'm trying to store as a CSV file on a network drive.

I used the Harvest example provided which generates an HTML table which is emailed to me - this works ok so I know the connection and data retrieval is good.

Creation of HTML

I tried to replace the 'Create HTML Table' step with a 'Create CSV Table' step as shown.

Creation of a CSV (Attempt)

However, I get an error 'BadRequest. The 'from' property value in the table action inputs is of type 'Object'. The value must be of the type 'Array'. 

Error

Watching some YouTube videos suggested I need to Create an Array first using the 'Initialise variable' step.

Question about next step

The questions I would appreciate help with are :

1) Is the Initialise Variable Step the correct approach?

2) What would I enter for the 'Value' field of the Initialize Variable?

3) Are the following steps likely to work or am I on the wrong track?

A) Recurrence - to establish a schedule to create the csv file

B) List Projects - to obtain the information from Harvest

C) Initialize Variable - to define the array

D) Create CSV Table - to generate the content retrieved from Harvest as a csv table

E) Create File - to save the csv onto a network drive

Thanks for any assistance,

Cheers,

Richard

Hi @Richard-J ,

You need to remove the Apply to each then the flow should work.
