The ask, create a Power Automate cloud flow to calculate exponentiation, a base value taken to the power of an exponent value. Ultimately, this flow will be one of many flows filling in where Microsoft hasn't yet provided an expression. For this ask, create a new cloud flow and choose "When Power Apps calls a … Continue reading Power Automate: Do While Loop | Calculate Power Of

Power Automate: Understanding | mod()
Modulus (or modulo) is another of the math expression available in Power Automate. Similar to the add(), sub(), mul(), and div() expressions, mod() accepts two parameters, but instead only returns whole numbers, so no decimals. Likely an over-simplified explanation, but in computing, modulo is essentially the calculated remainder of a division calculation. Figure 1 - … Continue reading Power Automate: Understanding | mod()
Power Automate: Lookup Table Arrays
As Power Automate cloud flows grow in complexity, makers often need to nest loops within loops. Nesting loops isn't bad, but nesting the same loop more than once is inefficient. An alternative approach, loop the content once without nesting it and build an array of objects, which creates a lookup table that can be referenced … Continue reading Power Automate: Lookup Table Arrays
Power Automate: Outlook Emails w/ Item Lists
There are hundreds of connectors available in Power Automate. Each connector represents a different service, and services can be daisy-chained together to create automations called "flows". Often though, flows need to send emails with listed items, reporting on the executed actions. The easiest way to accomplish this, store the items in an array variable, then … Continue reading Power Automate: Outlook Emails w/ Item Lists
Power Automate: Working w/ Arrays
The Power Platform prides itself on being low-code. While accurate, each solution requires different levels of coding. Power Automate, the low-code workflow creator, empowers developers to use variables when coding their business automations... Among the available variable types, array is a common data structure in many programming languages. For the uninitiated, arrays are essentially collections … Continue reading Power Automate: Working w/ Arrays
