Azure-docs: Excel (Business) step - Add row to table - expression file path not working

Created on 14 Aug 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs

Hello,
I tried to find documentation in the subject but fell short until now.
I am trying to use Logic Apps in order to update a table when a trigger occurs.
I have two different tables and the path to those two tables are in the trigger.
I am using an Expression in the path to "File" instead of manually clicking to get to this path and so that depending on the trigger, the app knows whether to go in file1 or in file2.
_Can we use Expression to access a file and if yes could I have an example?_

logic_apps_pathtofile

UPDATE
realizing that the "manual way" gets the ID of the folder instead of the path, I have tried with a dynamic way to get:
1) the path to the file => not working
2) the id of the file => not working

Help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Renaud

@sbi-rviot Thank you for the valuable feedback,we are investigating the issue.

@Adam-Smith-MSFT , do you need more details in order to help?
I realize that the "manual way" gets the ID of the folder instead of the path, when I am dynamically writing the path.
Nonetheless, for my flow, writing the path would solve my issue.
Thank you again.

Hi @sbi-rviot - It's likely your expression in the File field isn't evaluating as string value as per its reference doc - did you review your Run History to see if the expression is being evaluated into that string value that points to valid excel file?

Since this channel is for driving improvements for MS Docs, I request that you open a thread on MSDN forums for your question (with a screenshot of your Run History, omit any private info) and tag me here with its URL so that I can be notified and make sure your thread gets answered.

We will now proceed to close this thread for now. If there are any questions regarding specific MS Docs, please reopen it and we will gladly continue the discussion.

ok!
I found the solution. but thank you!
