Sharepoint list setting is person/group- How to get these into flows (updating excel rows)

[Anonymous]

HI,

I have a Sharepoint list setting is person/group- How do I get these into flows (updating excel rows) without making it apply to each? I just want it to take the name/names in that field and update the information.

Hi!

Let me see if I understood your challenge.

You have a sharepoint list, with a multiperson column.

So, every now and then you need to store each list item related info as a row in an Excel table, one of its columns should host multiperson related info. So in case multiperson column has more than one value, you just need to store all email addresses in a single cell from that row.

Is my assumption right?

If so, I would add an 'Initialize variable' action block, type array, lets call it myMultiPersonArray, then use 'Apply to each' assigning as its input the multiperson column content, inside it I would add an 'Append to array'.

NExt after the 'Apply to each' I would add a 'Compose' action block and assign the following WDL expression to it:

join(variables('myMultiPersonArray'),';')

Finally I would add a 'SEt variable' action block to delete myMultipersonArray content, just in case you are iterating through several Sharepoint list items. You can reset its value by means of the following expression:

concat('')

Hope this helps
