Filter query from excel

[BR1984]

Hey

i need some logic or help here 😊.

my flow is working great but I need to modify it little bit.

I have a excel file with a column called date - in there I have many dates wich means the flow should not run if the date in excel match today date, to do it more smoothly I use filter query in list excel table with utcnow and it works fine if the date today is there but if it isn’t then it returns empty null or somethingelse and I can’t work with it in condition. How can I grab the result or how can I stop the flow if filter query is not return anything? Thanks

Hi @BR1984 ,

After your Excel action, you can use the length function to get the rows returned and use that within a condition.

Paste this into the expression for the Compose action.  

length(outputs('List_rows_present_in_a_table')?['body/value'])

We can see there were 6 rows returned.
