Great video! Before using Power Automate I tried using Zapier and although I got it to work, it was very SLOW to populate Excel. Even though your video is from 2 years ago, it was still helpful in many ways. Currently, Microsoft has changed a few things in Power Automate but they're all good improvements. For instance, my flow was able to output my table values automatically without having to perform your last step with JSON viewer/custom expressions. My next step is figuring out how to get the all table values on a single row in Excel (in separate columns) vs having separate Excel rows for each row of table data from PDF form. In case anyone is wondering...my flow is DocuSign PowerForm > Email (i.e. extract data from DcouSign Attachment) > Excel

Thank you so much for this video. I noticed that your data values at the end showed the item name duplicated. Is that because you entered 'Quantity' overtop of 'value' instead of replacing 'Item' when copying the expression over at 26:51?

Great video Anders. Love this capability within Flow but sometimes I don't get the "File Content" option to populate the Form field.

Great video. Question: If you wanted to do this for many different vendors, who all have different format invoices, would you create a collection per vendor, and when PA runs it will work out which collection to use based on the format of the PDF in the email?

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey zedzeduk, then I would use the invoice processing. The forms processing are great, when it's structured data (all PDFs the same), but not when unstructured (e.g. different vendors). Thanks a lot 🤗

[@josephdaquila2479]

Can't you just set up email rules? And then run different processes depending on which folder the invoice ends up in? Edit: nevermind this youtube video owner is right you'd have to set up different training models

[@phucngo1199]

I think it looks like a mistake at 26:52 when you mistakenly replace the last squared bracket to Quantity from value. Isn’t it supposed to replace the first squared bracket from Item to Quantity instead? I see that the result at the end of this video has the Item name repeating twice and it misses the Quantity field. Can you please show me how to have different field in the table to be in different column in the excel file.

Not a very big issue, but for beginners: for Quantity, the formula should've been the same as for the other ones ?['Quantity']?['value'] instead of ?['Item']?['Quantity'] like in the video (as can be seen in the Excel table, Quantity hasn't been retrieved). Great video, Anders!

[@kevinmctarsney36]

@@t.a.n.e.s.hI had the same issue. In the video I noticed a second "Apply to each" that wasn't in the first run of the flow before trying to break out the BurgerItem table detail. The fx had 'apply_to_each_2'. My flow errored on that when saving. I changed them to 'Apply_to_each' and the flow saved, ran, but didn't populate the OurItems column. Update: Figured it out! There is, indeed, a second 'Apply to each'. I added it right after the 'Extract info from forms' action then dragged the 'Add a row...' up into t for the four BurgerItems in the JSON. Worked just like the video.

Thank you!... I have a question, I have an email that I receive daily with a pdf attachment, and my boss asked me to powerbi dashboard... I contacted powerbi to a folder where all the pdf are, and powerbi does extract and combine the date... However I'm afraid it might become a heavy process once I have several years of daily filed... Do you suggest this solution for me? Or maybe extract the data out of that folder using a phyton script?
