    My best Power Automate Tutorial? That's the REST API Call tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/HiS_lQ1wbD4/v-deo.html, where you will learn to master one of the key techniques in RPA/Automation. I can't recommend you to learn it enough 😊

      Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. please Is there a way I could use Power automate to copy folders with files and keep updating the folders whenever a new file is added without copying the whole folder again

    Hi @anders, your video literally helped me to understand power automate. Could you please create some videos on if any user want to testing on legacy desktop application which is on VM and want to take screenshots, logs and send those logs & screenshot to ADO boards user stories, that would be very helpful?

    • @johnfromireland7551
      @johnfromireland7551 3 роки тому +1

      Hi NNMusic, I think you would use a HTTP or URL connector in Power Automate Cloud (or Desktop) to connect, first, to the VM. Then you would use browser automated actions to control the VM.

(such as file a1, a2, a3, a4, b1, b2, b3, b4, all files a1-4would create a folder labeled a then files a1-4 are moved into that folder and all files labeled b1-4 would create a folder labeled b then files b1-4 are moved into the folder labeled b

    Great video! I am slowly learning from this, but I have some more advanced workflow which includes:
    Images upload into Dropbox.
    I want to create a folder based on the metadata of when the photo was taken. Eg. A folder with MM.DD.YYYY
    Once I have created a folder, I want to move the image based on the meta data into the appropriate folder. Eg. An Image taken on 01.01.2023 is moved into the folder 01.01.2023, and an image taken on 01.02.2023 is moved into a folder on 01.02.2023 etc.
    I have managed to work out the creating the folder, but struggling on the condition of moving the image into the correct folder. Do you have any tutorials which have something similar I could look at?

    • @andersjensenorg
      @andersjensenorg  4 роки тому +1

      @@arjunreddy0 The problem is that the Read Range will throw an exception, when it encounter duplicate headers. What you can do is to read it w/o headers (untick add headers) to a DataTable (e.g. dtArjun). Then have an assign with LINQ where you assign your array of strings to: arrayColumnNames = (from dc in dtData.Columns.cast(of DataColumn)Select dc.Columnname).ToArray. Now you have an array with Column0, Column1...ColumnN, where N is the last column index. Do a For Each (string) and you can now enter your headers column with dtArjun.rows(0).item(item).ToString. This workaround will give you the column names to work with. Now you need to have three arrays (just copy the above procedure 3 times). You compare the first two arrays (use the syntax from here: ua-cam.com/video/VLkE1I2SfJ0/v-deo.html) and when you find a match, you can update your third array. You might need to do a while loop outside, if you have more than 1 match of the same word. I hope this helps, otherwise just ask and tell me, how much you've made. Kind regards, Anders
