In Power Automate. I used parse to read the get items from SharePoint list and I have taken Compose to see result.
I got result as:
[
"i:0#.f|membership|abc.xyz#hhh.com",
"i:0#.f|membership|rty.jkh#hhh.com"
]
But I want result as abc.xyz#hhh.com;rty.jkh#hhh.com
Please help how can I extract them and combine.
Thanks
You can do this ...
Initialize Combined Emails
This will contain the concatenated string of emails. It's temporary until the end where I set the Result variable.
Append to Combined Emails
The expression here is ...
split(string(item()), '|')[2]
Take note of the semi-colon before the expression.
Initialize Result
You can do what you want here for a variable name, the important part is the expression.
substring(variables('Combined Emails'), 1)
This is the end result ...

I have had to look up hundreds (if not thousands) of free-text answers on google, making notes in Excel along the way and inserting SAS-code around the answers as a last step.
The output looks like this:
This output contains an unnecessary number of blank spaces, which seems to confuse SAS's search to the point where the observations can't be properly located.
It works if I manually erase superflous spaces, but that will probably take hours. Is there an automated fix for this, either in SAS or in excel?
I tried using the STRIP-function, to no avail:
else if R_res_ort_txt=strip(" arild ") and R_kom_lan=strip(" skåne ") then R_kommun=strip(" Höganäs " );
If you want to generate a string like:
if R_res_ort_txt="arild" and R_kom_lan="skåne" then R_kommun="Höganäs";
from three variables, let's call them A B C, then just use code like:
string=catx(' ','if R_res_ort_txt=',quote(trim(A))
,'and R_kom_lan=',quote(trim(B))
,'then R_kommun=',quote(trim(C)),';') ;
Or if you are just writing that string to a file just use this PUT statement syntax.
put 'if R_res_ort_txt=' A :$quote. 'and R_kom_lan=' B :$quote.
'then R_kommun=' C :$quote. ';' ;
A saner solution would be to continue using the free-text answers as data and perform your matching criteria for transformations with a left join.
proc import out=answers datafile='my-free-text-answers.xlsx';
data have;
attrib R_res_ort_txt R_kom_lan length=$100;
input R_res_ort_txt ...;
datalines4;
... whatever all those transforms will be performed on...
;;;;
proc sql;
create table want as
select
have.* ,
answers.R_kommun_answer as R_kommun
from
have
left join
answers
on
have.R_res_ort_txt = answers.res_ort_answer
& have.R_kom_lan = abswers.kom_lan_answer
;
I solved this by adding quotes in excel using the flash fill function:

I have a 2 column data in the following format where Name is a string and Location is an array seperated with commas
Name------Location
John---------A,B,C,D
Paul----------E,F,G,H
I want to convert it to the following format
Name--------Location
John-----------A
John-----------B
John-----------C
John-----------D
Paul------------E
Paul------------F
Can someone suggested how can I achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.
There are many ways to accomplish this. One option is to use Split, along the following lines:
Location = "A,B,C,D"
LocationList = Split(Location, ",")
That will populate LocationList with an array of individual locations. You can then loop through the individual locations and generate your output.
This appears to be pretty basic but I am unable to find a suitable pipeline expression function to achieve this.
I have set an array variable VAR1 with the following value, which is an output from a SQL Lookup activity in an ADF pipeline:
[
{
"Code1": "1312312"
},
{
"Code1": "3524355"
}
]
Now, I need to convert this into a comma separated string so I can pass it to a SQL query in the next activity - something like:
"'1312312','3524355'"
I am unable to find an expression function to iterate over the array elements, nor convert an array to a string. The only pipeline expression functions I see are to convert string to array and not the other way around.
Am I missing something basic? How can this be achieved?
Use 'join' function present in 'collection' functions in 'Add dynamic content'. For example:
join(variables('ARRAY_VARIABLE'), ',')
I had this same issue and was not totally satisfied just using the join function because it keeps the keys from the json object. Also, using an iterator approach can work but is needlessly expensive and slow if you have a long list. Here was my approach, using join and replace:
replace(replace(join(variables('VAR1'), ','), '{"Code1":', ''), '}', ''))
This will give you exactly the output you are looking for.
I got it working using a ForEach loop activity to iterate over my array and use a Set Variable task with a concat expression function to create my comma separated string.
Wish they had an iterator function in the expression language itself, that would have made it much easier.
In case, you just have two elements in the array, then you can do something like:
#concat(variables('variable_name')[0].Code1, ',', variables('variable_name')[1].Code1)
I have a multiple select field that allows multiple selections of colors. I created a formula that would append a prefix of "color-" to each selected list, but it only appends it to the the beginning of the field. I'm not sure how I can split the field results up for the formula to where I can get it showing up for all results.
CASE WHEN {custitemtag_color1} is NULL
THEN ''
ELSE 'color-'||{custitemtag_color1}
END
Results with multiple selections show: color-Black,Lime Green,White
Expected Results need to show: color-Black,color-Lime Green,color-White
What's happening is that NetSuite returns "Black,Lime Green,White" as a single result for the multi-selection, then you're prepending "color-" to that text returned. To work around it within your saved search, you could simply replace any instances of the comma (",") with ",color-":
CASE WHEN {custitemtag_color1} is NULL THEN '' ELSE 'color-'|| REPLACE({custitemtag_color1}, ',', ',color-') END
I have created a structure containing a few different fields. The fields contain data from a number of different subjects/participants.
At the beginning of the script I prompt the user to enter the "Subject number" like so:
prompt='Enter the subject number in the format SUB_n: ';
SUB=input(prompt,'s');
Example SUB_34 for the 34th subject.
I want to then name my structure such that it contains this string... i.e. I want the name of my structure to be SUB_34, e.g. SUB_34.field1. But I don't know how to do this.
I know that you can assign strings to a specific field name for example for structure S if I want field1 to be called z then
S=struct;
field1='z';
S.(field1);
works but it does not work for the structure name.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Rather than creating structures named SUB_34 I would strongly recommend just using an array of structures instead and having the user simply input the subject number.
number = input('Subject Number')
S(number) = data_struct
Then you could simply find it again using:
subject = S(number);
If you really insist on it, you could use the method proposed in the comment by #Sembei using eval to get the struct. You really should not do this though
S = eval([SUB, ';']);
Or to set the structure
eval([SUB, ' = mydata;']);
One (of many) reasons not to do this is that I could enter the following at your prompt:
>> prompt = 'Enter the subject number in the format SUB_n: ';
>> SUB = input(prompt, 's');
>> eval([SUB, ' = mydata;']);
And I enter:
clear all; SUB_34
This would have the unforeseen consequence that it would remove all of your data since eval evaluates the input string as a command. Using eval on user input assumes that the user is never going to ever write something malformed or malicious, accidentally or otherwise.
