This Power Automate video is an introduction to Data Operations in flow. You'll learn about some common data operations in flow, such as Compose, Join, Select, Filter arrays, Create tables, and parse JSON. These actions are available to manipulate data when you create flows.

Flow Data Operations:

  • Compose Action - Use the Data Operation - Compose action to save yourself from having to enter the same data multiple times as you're designing a cloud flow.
  • Join - Use the Data Operation - Join action to delimit an array with the separator of your choice.
  • Select - Use the Data Operation – Select action to transform the shape of objects in an array
  • Filter Array - Use the Filter array - Data Operation action to reduce the number of objects in an array to a subset that matches the criteria you provide
  • Create CSV table - Use the Create CSV table - Data Operation action to change a JSON array input into a comma-separated value (CSV) table
  • Create HTML table - Use the Create HTML table - Data Operation action to change a JSON array input into an HTML table
