I would like to display null values as N/A in the report when the data type is decimal. I've tried to click on the cell and set the following under Map, but didn't work; still got blank cells as a result:
Is this because of the data type or something else?
Also, I've tried to use the following expression but this time the values could not be displayed:
if (row["STATEMENT2"]== null)
{
'n/a';
} else {
row["STATEMENT2"];
}
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Botond
I used the "Map" for this Problem as well.
My solution works in all of my Reports:
[Your_Field] Equal to null
(Null written without "" or '')
Then type the value to Display in the bottom field.
Hope this helps.

I've seen the JSON array questions here and I'm still a little lost, so could use some extra help.
Here's the setup:
My Flow calls a sproc on my DB and that sproc returns this JSON:
{
"ResultSets": {
"Table1": [
{
"OrderID": 9518338,
"BasketID": 9518338,
"RefID": 65178176,
"SiteConfigID": 237
}
]
},
"OutputParameters": {}
}
Then I use a PARSE JSON action to get what looks like the same result, but now I'm told it's parsed and I can call variables.
Issue is when I try to call just, say, SiteConfigID, I get "The output you selected is inside a collection and needs to be looped over to be accessed. This action cannot be inside a foreach."
After some research, I know what's going on here. Table1 is an Array, and I need to tell PowerAutomate to just grab the first record of that array so it knows it's working with just a record instead of a full array. Fair enough. So I spin up a "Return Values to Virtual Power Agents" action just to see my output. I know I'm supposed to use a 'first' expression or a 'get [0] from array expression here, but I can't seem to make them work. Below are what I've tried and the errors I get:
Tried:
first(body('Parse-Sproc')?['Table1/SiteConfigID'])
Got: InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Return_value(s)_to_Power_Virtual_Agents' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'first' expects its parameter be an array or a string. The provided value is of type 'Null'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#first for usage details.'.
Also Tried:
body('Parse-Sproc')?['Table1/SiteconfigID']
which just returns a null valued variable
Finally I tried
outputs('Parse-Sproc')?['Table1']?['value'][0]?['SiteConfigID']
Which STILL gives me a null-valued variable. It's the worst.
In that last expression, I also switched the variable type in the return to pva action to a string instead of a number, no dice.
Also, changed 'outputs' in that expression for 'body' .. also no dice
Here is a screenie of the setup:
To be clear: the end result i'm looking for is for the system to just return "SiteConfigID" as a string or an int so that I can pipe that into a virtual agent.
I believe this is what you need as an expression ...
body('Parse-Sproc')?['ResultSets']['Table1'][0]?['SiteConfigID']
You can see I'm just traversing down to the object and through the array to get the value.
Naturally, I don't have your exact flow but if I use your JSON and load it up into Parse JSON step to get the schema, I am able to get the result. I do get a different schema to you though so will be interesting to see if it directly translates.
I have a problem with input password in webchat.I used Sample - Customize Web Chat with Password Input Activity for password input card when I enter wrong password it show a message like wrong password please try again but when i enter password out of form i need to show another message.
I used this code.
if (card.activity.type === 'message') {
if (
card.activity.from.role === 'bot' &&
(card.activity.text === getLoginMessage(this.props.language) ||
card.activity.text === getLoginRetryMessage(this.props.language))
) {
let message = card.activity.text;
if (!this.hasSubmittedPassword && (card.activity.text === getLoginRetryMessage(this.props.language))) {
message = "Please fill the form and click enter in order to complete your request.";
}
return children => (
<ConnectedPasswordInputActivity
promptMessage={message}
passwordPlaceholder={this.props.literals.password}
language={this.props.language}
handlePasswordSubmit={this.handlePasswordSubmit}
>
{next(card)(children)}
</ConnectedPasswordInputActivity>
);
}
Refer to the image please
This is hard to know for certain as there is a lot of hidden code you are referencing, however I suspect the issue is tied to your hasSubmittedPassword function and your check against it.
You are matching on
A message
From a bot
Where the text equals either the getLoginMessage or getLoginRetryMessage return value
These are passing your check (based on the attached image).
You then check against hasSubmittedPassword which (apparently) is passing and then check a second time on getLoginRetryMessage (???). This second check is unnecessary as you wouldn't be in this if statement if the first check (card.activity.text = this.getLoginRetryMessage(this.props.language) hadn't succeeded.
This can be simplified to:
if (!this.hasSubmittedPassword) {
message = "Please fill the form and click enter in order to complete your request.";
}
That being said, your use of if(!this.hasSubmittedPassword) {...} is only checking if there is a returned value or not. This function may or may not be returning the correct value, but your check doesn't care. It only wants to know IF there is a value. If your logic is setup to always return something (i.e. true, false, yes, no, try again), then it will always pass.
From what I can see, if your first three checks pass, then you will always get the secondary message.
Hope of help!
I have a simple TextBox in my Precision Design related to a Field in Temporary Table.
I need to show this TextBox only If the it value under Temporary Table is pupulated : so if the value field is pupulated (is a string) I show the Text Box , otherwise I don't show the text Box.
I need to set Visibility by Expression :
Which is the best way forward over ?
Thanks!
You can use iif function. Press fx button, here you can writte your code.
iif function evaluate a condition and return 1 of 2 options, for example, in your case you need show one value only if exist.
check this code:
=iif(fields!YourFieldName.value = "", true, false)
if your field is a number
=iif(fields!YourFieldName.value = 0, true, false)
This code evaluate the value of your field and only populate the value if is complete.
What does this vbscript code mean?
<%=read_strt(objRS, "ccnumber", "")%>
I want to know whats the meaning or used of read_strt on the code?
Any ideas?
The statement writes the return value of a call to the function "read_strt" to the HTML output stream. The function seems to read the value of a field/column in the current row of a database query (recordset), convert its type to String and/or test it against 'bad' (e.g. Null) values; in that case the default value ("", empty string) is returned.
I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. I was looking at some old database reporting code written in VB6 and came across this line (the code is moving data from a "source" database into a reporting database):
rsTarget!VehYear = Trim(Str(rsSource!VehYear))
When rsSource!VehYear is Null, the above line generates an "Invalid use of Null" run-time error. If I break on the above line and type the following in the Immediate pane:
?rsSource!VehYear
It outputs Null. Fine, that makes sense. Next, I try to reproduce the error:
?Str(rsSource!VehYear)
I get an "Invalid use of Null" error.
However, if I type the following into the Immediate window:
?Str(Null)
I don't get an error. It simply outputs Null.
If I repeat the same experiment with Trim() instead of Str(), everything works fine. ?Trim(rsSource!VehYear) returns Null, as does ?Trim(Null). No run-time errors.
So, my question is, how can Str(rsSource!VehYear) possibly throw an "Invalid use of Null" error when Str(Null) does not, when I know that rsSource!VehYear is equal to Null?
Update: If I type the following in the Immediate window, it works as expected (no error occurs):
?Str(rsSource!VehYear.Value)
This outputs Null. Now, I know that rsSource!VehYear is actually an ADODB.Field instance, but Value is its default property, so Str should be operating on the Value property (which is Null). Even the error message ("Invalid use of Null") suggests that Str is receiving a Null parameter, but how can it treat Null differently in one case and not the other?
My only guess is the internal implementation of Str() is somehow failing to get the default property, and the "Invalid use of Null" error is happening for a different reason (something other than the parameter is causing the "Invalid use of Null", perhaps when it is trying to retrieve the default property from the Field object).
Does anyone have a more detailed, technical explanation for what is actually happening here?
In short:
?Str(rsSource!VehYear)
throws an "Invalid use of Null" error when rsSource!VehYear is Null, but
?Str(rsSource!VehYear.Value)
returns Null.
However, both Trim(rsSource!VehYear) and Trim(rsSource!VehYear.Value) return Null.
If you need a value other than a string, try using IsNull instead:
rsTarget!VehYear = IIf(IsNull(rsSource!VehYear), 0, rsSource!VehYear)
' Note 0 is the default value
The Str function will specifically check if a Null value is passed in and deal with it accordingly. When you pass in an object it attempts to convert the result of a default method to a String. The result of the default method is not passed into the Str method, but Field object is, so a check for the initial Null will fail. The Str function will continue to check the parameter type for datatypes that it supports when it realizes that it has an object, it will attempt to retrieve the default value. It doesn't re-attempt to deal with the default value as it did with the passed in argument, so the attempt to return a Null as a String will fail. It seems MS didn't expect a default value to be Null or any other invalid value for Str. For instance Str doesn't support an empty string either.
This was my workaround in the vb6-days:
rsTarget!VehYear = Trim(Str(rsSource!VehYear & ""))
the & "" will make sure there is allways at least an empty string to work with.
From memory, null database fields are Nothing (or possibly vbNull), which do not have the same rules applied to them as Null. You should just be able to do a quick check:
If (rsSource!VehYear Is Nothing) Then
' Null
Else
' Not null
End If
