Help with creating formula's for a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6
Hi Everyone,
 
I am setting up an automatic flow that will provide me with an update on Friday evening, for the progress made over the week (Mon - Fri)
Not sure if some of these are actually even possible, but would love some help in creating the formulas if they are possible.
The flow is to create a HTML report that will be sent via email to me. I think I'm right with that part, just stuck on how to get the actual info I want.
 
  • Total of reminders modified (field is called MonthListModifiedBy) - would just like a total number of all the reminders that were modified between the Mon and Fri of the current week
  • Total of reminders modified by different people (field is called MonthModifiedBy) - e.g. person 1 did 10 reminders, person 2 did reminders 15, etc etc
  • Total number of reminders that are due from the time the report is run or anytime before (field is called field_1 for the date the follow up is due)
  • Total number of reminders that are due the following week (field is called field_1 for the date the follow up is due)
  • The number of reminders that have a date in the 1st reminder column (field_10)
  •  The number of reminders that have a date in the 2nd reminder column (field_11)
 
Any help would be great.
 
Thank you

    Hi @CuriousCat99, then as suggested by @Gabriel G., you can use List items with filters for each requirement and use the shared video (Power Automate: Group By, SUM, COUNT in 6 steps! No Apply To Each | Runs super fast ) to calculate your metric and send the reports.

    Hi there,
     
    All of this is possible :)

    You select the proper connector to get records you need for your report and then you use the output of these actions to get all of your values needed. Let me try to make an example with Dataverse connector: (it is in french but I think you can easily find your path through english :D)
     

    You need a 'List rows' or 'Find record by id' or anything that fit the most your needs

     
    Make sure to filter your query to get appropriate records (filter use odata in this connector, you can easily find odata doc online)
     
     
    And then, you will be able to get output values in further actions as dynamics content:

     
    I hope it helps!

    Hi @CuriousCat99,could you share what your data source is (e.g. SharePoint list, Dataverse table, Excel file, SQL, etc.)?
     

    Yes this is entirely doable with a Scheduled-based flow. By scheduling it to run every Friday evening, you can pull your records, you can use Filter array or odata queries to filter data, then stitch them into an HTML report with create html table action and email it back to u.
    reference video to help you build the aggregation functions:

    Please give the mentioned solution a try and let me know whether it works for you.
